Steady Overhead
Style: Clarinet nightlight

[Verse 1]
Something wide and slow is turning gently overhead tonight
folding all the shadows soft until they feel just right
every wall around you holds its breath and does not sway
nothing here will ever come to carry you away

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the ceiling keep its quiet, easy turning
feel how still the whole wide room becomes around your sleeping
close your eyes and let the calm come drifting in like this

[Chorus]
Dawn, the light will wait for you so patient and so still
Dawn, there is nothing in this house that means you any ill
sleep beneath the walls that lean in close to keep you warm
little one called Dawn, you were never built for storm

[Verse 2]
Somewhere far above you something heavy learns to glide
smooth and slow across the dark with nowhere left to hide
but it moves the way a lullaby moves through the air
gentle, steady, only here to prove that you are cared

[Bridge]
Let the trembling walls remind you how a shelter feels
nothing sharp can find you here, nothing sudden, nothing real

[Chorus]
Dawn, the light will wait for you so patient and so still
Dawn, there is nothing in this house that means you any ill
sleep beneath the walls that lean in close to keep you warm
little one called Dawn, you were never built for storm

[Outro]
Somewhere overhead the quiet keeps on turning, soft and slow
rest now, little Dawn, and let the whole night hold you close
