The Clock in the Hall
Style: Flute and pad

[Verse 1]
The clock in the hallway is ticking so slow tonight
counting the minutes with nothing but patient light
it never once hurries, it never once strays
and neither will the arms that hold you so tight

[Pre-chorus]
Every tick is a promise that morning will come
soft as the hush that settles over everyone
so let your eyes grow heavy, let the whole house sway

[Chorus]
Charlie, Charlie, the night is only kind
close your eyes now, leave the day behind
you are the calm this whole house is built upon
Charlie, Charlie, safe within my mind

[Verse 2]
Down the hall the shadows are gentle, never sharp
they curl round the doorway like notes from a quiet harp
nothing in this house would ever let you down
you are the warmth held close in every heart

[Pre-chorus]
Every tick is a promise that morning will come
soft as the hush that settles over everyone
so let your eyes grow heavy, let the whole house sway

[Chorus]
Charlie, Charlie, the night is only kind
close your eyes now, leave the day behind
you are the calm this whole house is built upon
Charlie, Charlie, safe within my mind

[Bridge]
Rest now, let the ticking be the only sound you hear
it keeps its steady rhythm just to hold you near
nothing has to happen, nothing has to start

[Chorus]
Charlie, Charlie, the night is only kind
close your eyes now, leave the day behind
you are the calm this whole house is built upon
Charlie, Charlie, safe within my mind

[Outro]
The clock keeps its watch while the whole house lies still
and you are the reason it always will
