Long Shadow, Soft Light
Style: Accordion cradle

[Verse 1]
The brass hook holds one shadow down the wallpaper wall
stretching soft and slow as evening starts to fall
it never moves, it never wavers, standing tall
watching over you through it all

[Chorus]
Darcey, Darcey, close your eyes and drift away
rest your head where all the soft light lays
you are held here, you are wanted, come what may
Darcey, sleep now, till the break of day

[Verse 2]
The room breathes quiet as the lamp turns low and gold
wrapping round you like a story often told
nothing sharp here, nothing hurried, nothing cold
just the warmth that this small house can hold

[Pre-chorus]
Outside the wind is only humming to itself
and every worry can be folded up and put on the shelf
so let the hush come closer, let it climb up soft and slow

[Chorus]
Darcey, Darcey, close your eyes and drift away
rest your head where all the soft light lays
you are held here, you are wanted, come what may
Darcey, sleep now, till the break of day

[Bridge]
Nothing will move while you are sleeping here
no shadow falls that isn't kind, my dear
the whole night keeps its steady watch nearby

[Chorus]
Darcey, Darcey, close your eyes and drift away
rest your head where all the soft light lays
you are held here, you are wanted, come what may
Darcey, sleep now, till the break of day

[Outro]
The hook still holds its shadow soft against the wall
and you are held the same way, gentle through it all
