A Small Gold Light
Style: Flute and pad

[Verse 1]
A small gold light is moving slow across the woolly thread
Following every loop and line to where it comes to rest
Nothing here can hurry you, there's nowhere you must be
Just this quiet room and you, held gently, softly blessed

[Chorus]
Barry, close your eyes now, let the whole wide world go still
Nobody could love a little one the way that I love you
Barry, you're the warmest thing this house has ever known
Sleep now, sleep now, there is nothing you need to do

[Verse 2]
The blanket holds the warmth in like a promise kept all night
Every thread a little road that leads back home to you
Somewhere out beyond the door the darkness waits so patient
But nothing in that dark can touch what's true

[Pre-chorus]
Your breathing slows, your fingers loosen, softer than before
Whatever small thing worried you has quietly let go
And here beside you, watching, I could stay forevermore

[Chorus]
Barry, close your eyes now, let the whole wide world go still
Nobody could love a little one the way that I love you
Barry, you're the warmest thing this house has ever known
Sleep now, sleep now, there is nothing you need to do

[Bridge]
No storm can find you here, no cold can reach this bed
Just the low light turning gold above your sleepy head

[Chorus]
Barry, close your eyes now, let the whole wide world go still
Nobody could love a little one the way that I love you
Barry, you're the warmest thing this house has ever known
Sleep now, sleep now, there is nothing you need to do

[Outro]
The light moves on now, but the warmth it left is staying
Sleep, my Barry, sleep, you're safe, and I am near
