A Stripe of Gold
Style: Ambient wash

[Verse 1]
A single stripe of gold slips underneath the door tonight
It stretches down the floorboards soft and low and slow with light
The whole house holds its breath and settles into calm and rest
And you are held the safest here, right where you're loved the best

[Pre-chorus]
The hush is gathering gently all around your little bed
The quiet wraps its arms around each thought inside your head
So let the day go softly now and let it drift instead

[Chorus]
Colin, close your eyes now, let the whole wide world go still
Nothing in the dark tonight is coming near to harm or chill
Colin, you're the warmest light this house has ever known
Sleep now, Colin, safe and sound, you're never here alone

[Verse 2]
The corridor grows darker but that stripe of gold stays bright
It watches over sleepy floors and keeps its steady light
Somewhere down the hallway there's a heart that beats for you
And every breath you take tonight is loved the whole night through

[Chorus]
Colin, close your eyes now, let the whole wide world go still
Nothing in the dark tonight is coming near to harm or chill
Colin, you're the warmest light this house has ever known
Sleep now, Colin, safe and sound, you're never here alone

[Bridge]
Rest your head where all is soft and slow and warm and kind
Let the whole night carry you and leave your worries far behind

[Chorus]
Colin, close your eyes now, let the whole wide world go still
Nothing in the dark tonight is coming near to harm or chill
Colin, you're the warmest light this house has ever known
Sleep now, Colin, safe and sound, you're never here alone

[Outro]
That stripe of gold will still be there when morning finds its way
So sleep now, gently held by love, until the light of day
