Silver on the Wall
Style: Rocking chair waltz

[Verse 1]
The silver light is moving soft along the wall tonight
It slides so slow above your head and settles where you lie
Nothing in this room will ever hurry you or startle you
You're held here safer than the moon is high

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the quiet gather round you deep
Every shadow here is gentle, none of them will keep
You are wrapped in something warmer than the dark, so drift to sleep

[Chorus]
Ashley, Ashley, rest your head and let the light go by
Nothing here will ever hurt you, nothing here will pull you far
You are loved beyond the counting, past the reaching of the sky
Ashley, sleep, and know exactly who and where you are

[Verse 2]
The paint above you wears its years so gently on the wall
It's seen a hundred quiet nights and this one most of all
Whatever moves across the ceiling only means the world turns kind
There's nothing in the shadows you should fear at all

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the quiet gather round you deep
Every shadow here is gentle, none of them will keep
You are wrapped in something warmer than the dark, so drift to sleep

[Chorus]
Ashley, Ashley, rest your head and let the light go by
Nothing here will ever hurt you, nothing here will pull you far
You are loved beyond the counting, past the reaching of the sky
Ashley, sleep, and know exactly who and where you are

[Bridge]
Long after this light has slid away and left the wall behind
You will still be held as gently, always kept, always mine to mind

[Chorus]
Ashley, Ashley, rest your head and let the light go by
Nothing here will ever hurt you, nothing here will pull you far
You are loved beyond the counting, past the reaching of the sky
Ashley, sleep, and know exactly who and where you are

[Outro]
The silver light still moves so slow above where you now sleep
Rest now, Ashley, you are held, you are the peace I keep
