A Narrow Beam of Light
Style: Kalimba night

[Verse 1]
A narrow beam of light goes sweeping slowly overhead
It finds the fuzzy threads and rests there, soft upon the wool
However far the day has carried you, you're safe in bed
However loud the world got, now the quiet room is full

[Pre-chorus]
The blanket holds the warmth the way my arms are holding you
So let your busy thoughts go drifting out like breath in cold
There's nothing you need do tonight but let the dark gather in

[Chorus]
Catherine, the light is soft and low tonight
Catherine, there's nowhere safer you could be
Nothing out there in the dark can reach this room tonight
You are the only thing I ever needed here with me

[Verse 2]
The beam moves like a slow hand smoothing down a worried thread
It gathers up the wrinkles till the wool lies calm and flat
So let it smooth the corners of whatever's in your head
There's time for that tomorrow, but there's no more need for that

[Pre-chorus]
The blanket holds the warmth the way my arms are holding you
So let your busy thoughts go drifting out like breath in cold
There's nothing you need do tonight but let the dark gather in

[Chorus]
Catherine, the light is soft and low tonight
Catherine, there's nowhere safer you could be
Nothing out there in the dark can reach this room tonight
You are the only thing I ever needed here with me

[Bridge]
Somewhere past the window, the whole night is settling down
Every small thing you are is exactly enough for me

[Chorus]
Catherine, the light is soft and low tonight
Catherine, there's nowhere safer you could be
Nothing out there in the dark can reach this room tonight
You are the only thing I ever needed here with me

[Outro]
The beam has moved along and left the blanket to the dark
Sleep now, Catherine, you are held, you are held, you are held
