Pale Light on the Stairs
Style: Humming choir

[Verse 1]
Soft light spills across the steps where small feet used to roam
Golden as a lantern guiding weary travellers home
You are wrapped in quiet now, no need to make a sound
Close your eyes, my darling Dean, let sleep come gathering round

[Chorus]
Dean, the night is holding you so gently in its arms
Dean, you're safe within these walls, away from all alarms
Nothing here can trouble you, no shadow, no machine
Rest your head and drift away, my quiet, steady Dean

[Verse 2]
Three small steps are waiting there beneath that yellow glow
Patient as a promise that tomorrow's soft and slow
You have run them, climbed them, tumbled laughing down their spine
Now they wait in stillness while you rest this heart of mine

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the humming carry every worry far
Breathe it slow, my darling, underneath a sleepy star
Let your eyelids soften as the evening pulls you in

[Chorus]
Dean, the night is holding you so gently in its arms
Dean, you're safe within these walls, away from all alarms
Nothing here can trouble you, no shadow, no machine
Rest your head and drift away, my quiet, steady Dean

[Bridge]
Somewhere down the hallway, a small light stays turned low
Watching over dreaming with a warmth that will not go
You are held, you are certain, you are wanted every day

[Chorus]
Dean, the night is holding you so gently in its arms
Dean, you're safe within these walls, away from all alarms
Nothing here can trouble you, no shadow, no machine
Rest your head and drift away, my quiet, steady Dean

[Outro]
Pale light still rests upon those steps you'll climb another day
Sleep now, little Dean, while all the world stays far away
