A Sliver of Light
Style: Clarinet nightlight

[Verse 1]
A thin gold line comes creeping under the door tonight
and lies so softly down across the striped carpet light
it does not need to travel far to find your little bed
just far enough to rest its glow beside your sleepy head

[Pre-chorus]
Nothing in this house is moving, nothing needs to stir
only breathing slow and even, only warmth and fur
and a hush that wraps around you like it's waiting just for

[Chorus]
Carole, close your eyes now, let the dark be kind
there is nothing in the shadows, nothing left to find
you are held here, you are steady, you are wrapped up tight
Carole, you are certain, you are safe tonight

[Verse 2]
Somewhere down the hallway something small and gold still glows
a promise that the morning always finds you, always knows
and until it comes to greet you there is nothing you should fear
just the quiet and the softness and the ones who love you near

[Chorus]
Carole, close your eyes now, let the dark be kind
there is nothing in the shadows, nothing left to find
you are held here, you are steady, you are wrapped up tight
Carole, you are certain, you are safe tonight

[Bridge]
Sleep is just a boat that carries you so gently through
and every star above is standing watch to look for you

[Chorus]
Carole, close your eyes now, let the dark be kind
there is nothing in the shadows, nothing left to find
you are held here, you are steady, you are wrapped up tight
Carole, you are certain, you are safe tonight

[Outro]
That thin gold line will still be there when morning comes to call
so rest now in its quiet glow and let the whole night fall
