A Beam Finds You
Style: Vibraphone drift

[Verse 1]
A thin white beam slips through the blue cotton sheets tonight
Quiet as breath, and gentle as the softest kind of light
It moves so slow across the room to find where you lie
Like it was sent to watch you while the hours drift by

[Pre-chorus]
Every shadow in this room has learned to hold you kind
Nothing here will hurry you or rush your sleepy mind
So let the light keep drifting low while your eyes start to close

[Chorus]
Aspen, the whole wide dark leans down to keep you warm
Nothing can reach you here, nothing can bring you harm
Aspen, you're held so close the night can barely move
There's nowhere safer built than this soft and sleepy groove

[Verse 2]
The cotton folds around you like a wave that learned to rest
Holding you the way the tide holds shells against its chest
No sound but breathing, slow and even, filling up the room
While that pale beam settles gently in the gathering gloom

[Bridge]
Sleep can be a small light, steady, learning how to stay
Just enough to see you're safe until the break of day

[Chorus]
Aspen, the whole wide dark leans down to keep you warm
Nothing can reach you here, nothing can bring you harm
Aspen, you're held so close the night can barely move
There's nowhere safer built than this soft and sleepy groove

[Outro]
That beam will still be waiting when the morning comes to call
Long after sleep has folded you the softest way of all
