Down the Quiet Hall
Style: Cello cradle

[Verse 1]
The carpet runner leads a soft path past the mahogany doors
and midnight holds its breath so nothing in the house can stir
every closed room is dreaming, hush caught deep inside the floors
and you are held so gently, safer than you ever were

[Pre-chorus]
Every door along this hall is closing soft and slow
the whole house settles down to guard the warmth you carry now
and sleep is waiting just beyond the glow

[Chorus]
Brooks, the night is wrapping round you like a blanket made of stars
you are so loved it fills this whole house to the core
rest now, Brooks, there's nothing here to find you and to harm
you are the reason every door was closed to keep you sure

[Verse 2]
Somewhere down that quiet hallway a small lamp is burning gold
holding back the dark the way my arms are holding you tonight
nothing needs to hurry now, no story left untold
just the hush, the breath, the dimming of the light

[Chorus]
Brooks, the night is wrapping round you like a blanket made of stars
you are so loved it fills this whole house to the core
rest now, Brooks, there's nothing here to find you and to harm
you are the reason every door was closed to keep you sure

[Bridge]
Sleep can be a small and gentle room
where you are never far from love
however dark the hallway grows around you

[Chorus]
Brooks, the night is wrapping round you like a blanket made of stars
you are so loved it fills this whole house to the core
rest now, Brooks, there's nothing here to find you and to harm
you are the reason every door was closed to keep you sure

[Outro]
Down that hallway every door is closed and dreaming now
and you can rest as safe as you have ever been allowed
