Slow Turning Light
Style: Celesta and strings

[Verse 1]
The shadow turns so slowly on the pale and quiet wall
A small and easy circle that will never let you fall
Watch it drift above you like a boat upon the tide
There is nothing in this room tonight but calm on every side

[Pre-chorus]
The house breathes low around you, every window holding still
Nothing in the shadows means you any kind of ill
So let your eyes grow heavy as the light begins to swim

[Chorus]
Diane, the night has come to hold you once again
Soft as falling shadow, gentle as the rain
You are always safest here within my sight
Diane, my darling, drift away tonight

[Verse 2]
The turning slows a little as your breathing starts to slow
Two small circles spinning gently, quiet and low
Nothing in the whole wide dark can reach you where you lie
Only love keeps watching, only love stays by

[Chorus]
Diane, the night has come to hold you once again
Soft as falling shadow, gentle as the rain
You are always safest here within my sight
Diane, my darling, drift away tonight

[Bridge]
Sleep now, and let the whole wide world sustain
Nothing tonight will ever cause you pain
Rest in the turning of the gentle light

[Chorus]
Diane, the night has come to hold you once again
Soft as falling shadow, gentle as the rain
You are always safest here within my sight
Diane, my darling, drift away tonight

[Outro]
The shadow slows to stillness on the pale and quiet wall
And you are held here softly, safe from any fall
