A Small Gold Light
Style: Ambient wash

[Verse 1]
A small gold light is glowing soft against the wall
and it will stay awake to watch you as you fall
the door stands open just a little, letting warmth come through
so nothing in the dark tonight can trouble you

[Pre-chorus]
Every shadow in this room has gone and lost its teeth
the whole wide house is breathing slow beneath your sheet
so close your eyes and let the quiet carry you along

[Chorus]
Claire, the night is only asking you to rest
Claire, you are held here, you are safe, you are blessed
nothing waits beyond that door but hallways soft and bare
sleep now, little one, there's nowhere calmer, Claire

[Verse 2]
The bulb burns low and steady like a patient little sun
it never blinks, it never leaves before you're done
and if you stir and find the world a little strange and grey
you'll see that gentle glow and know you're safe to stay

[Chorus]
Claire, the night is only asking you to rest
Claire, you are held here, you are safe, you are blessed
nothing waits beyond that door but hallways soft and bare
sleep now, little one, there's nowhere calmer, Claire

[Bridge]
Somewhere past that door the whole house settles too
every quiet room is only keeping watch for you

[Chorus]
Claire, the night is only asking you to rest
Claire, you are held here, you are safe, you are blessed
nothing waits beyond that door but hallways soft and bare
sleep now, little one, there's nowhere calmer, Claire

[Outro]
The light stays low and gold against the painted wall
and it will still be glowing after sleep has taken you, Claire
