A Strip of Light
Style: Rain and piano

[Verse 1]
A strip of yellow light falls softly through the door
Spilling out so gently on the quiet corridor floor
No need to wonder what the darkness has in store
You are held here safely, you don't need any more

[Chorus]
Bethany, the night is only kindness in disguise
Rest now, let the quiet settle soft around your eyes
Bethany, there's nothing here but calm and company
Sleep and know that you are all the world to me tonight

[Verse 2]
The house breathes slow around you like a warm and steady tide
Every creak and whisper just the walls turned soft inside
Nothing in the shadows means you any harm tonight
You are wrapped in something gentle, you are safe, you are mine

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes, the hallway light will keep its quiet watch
Let the rain outside the window hum you further down
Sleep is only love with all the noise turned low

[Chorus]
Bethany, the night is only kindness in disguise
Rest now, let the quiet settle soft around your eyes
Bethany, there's nothing here but calm and company
Sleep and know that you are all the world to me tonight

[Bridge]
However far this house of dreams may carry you tonight
There's a door left open, and a hand to hold you tight

[Chorus]
Bethany, the night is only kindness in disguise
Rest now, let the quiet settle soft around your eyes
Bethany, there's nothing here but calm and company
Sleep and know that you are all the world to me tonight

[Outro]
The light still falls in yellow strips across the sleeping floor
And you are loved here always, long after you close the door
