A Light That Passes Gentle
Style: Music box

[Verse 1]
A light is sweeping slow across the windowpane tonight
it touches down so softly and then fades from sight
nothing in this room can ever do you harm
you are held here safe and warm, my little light

[Pre-chorus]
Every shadow in this room is only passing through
nothing here will ever come to trouble you
so let your breathing slow and let your eyes grow dim

[Chorus]
Catherine, the dark is just a blanket drawn in close
the whole wide night is gathering in to keep you warm
hearts like yours are rare, a quiet kind of balm
Catherine, you are loved far more than words can hold

[Verse 2]
The flash moves on and leaves the glass all velvet black
and something in that stillness always finds its way right back
you do not need to understand the pattern of the night
just know that I am near and I am not going back

[Chorus]
Catherine, the dark is just a blanket drawn in close
the whole wide night is gathering in to keep you warm
hearts like yours are rare, a quiet kind of balm
Catherine, you are loved far more than words can hold

[Bridge]
Sleep can be a soft and gentle kind of trust
let it carry all your little worries far from us
you were made for warmth, for rest, for being held

[Chorus]
Catherine, the dark is just a blanket drawn in close
the whole wide night is gathering in to keep you warm
hearts like yours are rare, a quiet kind of balm
Catherine, you are loved far more than words can hold

[Outro]
The light has gone to sleep behind the windowpane
and you are safe, and warm, and held, again
