A Strip of Light
Style: Glockenspiel

[Verse 1]
A strip of yellow light lies soft across the floor tonight
It slips beneath the door to say that someone's near
Close your eyes now, let the dark feel gentle, feel alright
There's nothing in the quiet house for you to fear

[Pre-chorus]
The house breathes slow, the walls are warm and leaning in to listen
Every shadow folds itself to lay its head down too
So let the hush come closer, let your small hands finally loosen

[Chorus]
Beverly, the night is only quiet, never far
Every corner of this house is fond of who you are
Close your eyes, my Beverly, and drift as soft as breath
Wrapped in something warmer than the dark could ever guess

[Verse 2]
The floorboards hold their stillness like they're guarding something small
Somewhere past the doorway there's a hand that won't let go
You don't have to watch the light or listen for a call
Just rest, and let the warmth around you start to grow

[Bridge]
Nothing in this house will move to wake you from your rest
Every hush tonight was made to prove that you are blessed

[Chorus]
Beverly, the night is only quiet, never far
Every corner of this house is fond of who you are
Close your eyes, my Beverly, and drift as soft as breath
Wrapped in something warmer than the dark could ever guess

[Outro]
The light along the floor will keep its quiet watch till morning
Sleep now, Beverly, you're held, and you were never on your own
