Slowly the Shadows Go
Style: Glockenspiel

[Verse 1]
Slowly the shadows go drifting across the wall above you
Soft as a hand that only means to love you
Somewhere above us the old floor gives a quiet creak
But nothing can touch you while you're tucked in safe and sleep

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the house is breathing slow around your bed
Every small sound is just the night tucking in its head
Close your eyes now, let the warm dark hold you instead

[Chorus]
Brianna, the night is only kindness in disguise
Nothing in the shadows means you any harm tonight, Brianna
Sleep now, you are held by more than you can see
There's nowhere in this house that isn't wrapped around thee

[Verse 2]
The ceiling wears its patterns like a gentle lace of grey
Watching over you until the dark gives way to day
You don't have to know the reasons why you're loved so well
Just that it is true tonight, more than words can tell

[Chorus]
Brianna, the night is only kindness in disguise
Nothing in the shadows means you any harm tonight, Brianna
Sleep now, you are held by more than you can see
There's nowhere in this house that isn't wrapped around thee

[Bridge]
Every creak above is just the house saying goodnight
Every shifting shadow only softens into light
You are the reason all this quiet keeps its watch so near

[Chorus]
Brianna, the night is only kindness in disguise
Nothing in the shadows means you any harm tonight, Brianna
Sleep now, you are held by more than you can see
There's nowhere in this house that isn't wrapped around thee

[Outro]
Let the shadows keep their slow and gentle turning overhead
Rest now, you are so completely loved as you drift off to bed
