Slow as the Pendulum
Style: Flute and pad

[Verse 1]
The old brass pendulum swings slow across the hallway floor
Through dust that drifts like tiny stars that never make a sound
Every quiet tick is calling you toward the softest shore
Sleep is coming gently now to lay you safe and sound

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the whole house is breathing slower with you
The dark is not empty, it is holding you with care
Close your eyes and let it carry you through

[Chorus]
Chase, the night has room enough for all your dreaming
You are held so close within this warm embrace
Nothing here will ever leave you lost or screaming
Rest your head, Chase, this is your safest place

[Verse 2]
The moonlight finds its way in soft along the wall
Painting gold across the floor where shadows barely reach
Nothing in this house can hurt you, nothing here will fall
You are wrapped in something steady, something you can't breach

[Bridge]
Every tick that swings you nearer to the morning light
Says you are so loved, so kept, so wanted through the night

[Chorus]
Chase, the night has room enough for all your dreaming
You are held so close within this warm embrace
Nothing here will ever leave you lost or screaming
Rest your head, Chase, this is your safest place

[Outro]
The pendulum still swings its slow and steady pace
Sleep now, you are held, and you are safe in this warm place
