The Crack of Light
Style: Celesta and strings

[Verse 1]
A thin gold line creeps in beneath the wooden door tonight
and lays itself so softly on the carpet by your bed
someone still moves quietly out there, close and near
it comes to tell you, Darcey, you are held and you are right

[Pre-chorus]
Let your eyes grow heavy now, the day has had its say
the house breathes slow around you as the light begins to fade
so let the last small worry simply drift away

[Chorus]
Darcey, hush now, let the quiet carry you to sleep
nothing in this house would ever let you fall too deep
you are steady, you are wanted, you are safe here in the dark
Darcey, close your eyes, there's nothing here to keep

[Verse 2]
Grey carpet holds the warmth of every step that brought you home
that yellow light was always someone watching, waiting near
not a shadow, never distant, always here
a promise laid in colour that you never walk alone

[Bridge]
Sleep isn't leaving, it's a gentle kind of staying close
you can rest inside the knowing that you're loved beyond a doubt

[Chorus]
Darcey, hush now, let the quiet carry you to sleep
nothing in this house would ever let you fall too deep
you are steady, you are wanted, you are safe here in the dark
Darcey, close your eyes, there's nothing here to keep

[Outro]
That same gold light will still be waiting when the morning comes
so rest now, little one, the night is only holding you
