A Line of Light
Style: Ambient wash

[Verse 1]
A thin gold line slips under your door tonight
Falling soft across the floor where you lie
It waits there just to keep you close in its light
Even while the rest of the house breathes a quiet sigh

[Pre-chorus]
Nothing in the dark can find its way to you
The hallway hums low and the walls stand so still
Hush now, let the hours turn slowly for you

[Chorus]
Carolyn, the light is watching over you
Carolyn, it never wanders far
Somewhere past the door I'm holding on to you
Steady as the softest little star

[Verse 2]
The house grows heavy with its long, slow breath
Every creak and hush is folding into one
Nothing here will touch you, nothing here but rest
Sleep is just the quiet cousin of the sun

[Chorus]
Carolyn, the light is watching over you
Carolyn, it never wanders far
Somewhere past the door I'm holding on to you
Steady as the softest little star

[Bridge]
Let the gold line be the last thing that you see
Let it carry you where all your dreaming goes
I am near, however far that seems to be

[Chorus]
Carolyn, the light is watching over you
Carolyn, it never wanders far
Somewhere past the door I'm holding on to you
Steady as the softest little star

[Outro]
The line of light will still be there when morning comes
Holding you the whole night through, Carolyn
