Slow Gold Light
Style: Rain and piano

[Verse 1]
A far off light slides slowly over the wall tonight
Passing so calm above your head as you lie still
Nothing about this moment needs to move so bright
Rest here beneath it, wrapped in warmth until you will

[Pre-chorus]
Rain keeps its own soft time against the glass
Every small sound tonight is only a lullaby
And the hours are wide enough to let you pass

[Chorus]
Blake, the whole wide house is holding still for you
Close your eyes now, let the quiet take your hand
Nothing tonight is asking anything of you, Blake
You are the softest thing in all this land

[Verse 2]
That beam will keep on sweeping long after you sleep
Tracing the same slow path it always takes
It never rushes, never has a reason to keep
Time moving faster than the peace that settling makes

[Pre-chorus]
Rain keeps its own soft time against the glass
Every small sound tonight is only a lullaby
And the hours are wide enough to let you pass

[Chorus]
Blake, the whole wide house is holding still for you
Close your eyes now, let the quiet take your hand
Nothing tonight is asking anything of you, Blake
You are the softest thing in all this land

[Bridge]
However far that light has come to reach this room
It only ever wanted to lie down beside you
So let the dark be gentle, let it loosen soon
Nothing you carry now is yours to carry through

[Chorus]
Blake, the whole wide house is holding still for you
Close your eyes now, let the quiet take your hand
Nothing tonight is asking anything of you, Blake
You are the softest thing in all this land

[Outro]
The light will still be moving when the morning comes to find you
And you will still be loved exactly as you are right now
