Down the Narrow Landing
Style: Rocking chair waltz

[Verse 1]
Golden light is spilling soft along the landing floor tonight
Stretching out in yellow stripes to guide you toward the warm and right
Every shadow here is gentle, nothing waits to do you harm
You are walking into softness, into sleep and into calm

[Chorus]
Bonnie, Bonnie, close your eyes and let the evening in
Nothing here can trouble you, no need to fight or spin
Bonnie, hush now, you are held as tight as tight can be
Rest inside this rocking hour, safe as safe will ever be

[Verse 2]
Somewhere down that quiet hallway all the worry drains away
You can hear the house breathe slowly as it settles into grey
Wrapped in blankets, wrapped in stillness, nothing sharp can find you here
Every corner of this darkness only holds you soft and near

[Pre-chorus]
Feel the rocking start to slow you, feel your breathing find its place
Nothing hurries in this moment, nothing chases, nothing races
Sink a little deeper now, let the quiet take its space

[Chorus]
Bonnie, Bonnie, close your eyes and let the evening in
Nothing here can trouble you, no need to fight or spin
Bonnie, hush now, you are held as tight as tight can be
Rest inside this rocking hour, safe as safe will ever be

[Bridge]
Whatever came before this moment, let it fold and drift away
You are only meant for softness, only meant for rest tonight

[Chorus]
Bonnie, Bonnie, close your eyes and let the evening in
Nothing here can trouble you, no need to fight or spin
Bonnie, hush now, you are held as tight as tight can be
Rest inside this rocking hour, safe as safe will ever be

[Outro]
Somewhere still that golden light lies quiet on the floor
You are carried past it gently, into sleep and nothing more
