Stripe of Light
Style: Kalimba night

[Verse 1]
There's a stripe of light that slips beneath the floor tonight
It rests so quiet on the boards where shadows play
You don't need to keep one eye open for the light
It will still be there for you when you wake to day

[Pre-chorus]
Close your hands around the hush that's gathering in the room
Let the day fold up its noise and drift away somewhere
Feel how soft the dark can be when someone's watching over you

[Chorus]
Donna, the night is holding you so gently now
Nothing in this quiet room will ever let you down
Sleep can find you easy, Donna, safe beneath its weight
You are the warmest thing in every corner of this town

[Verse 2]
The house breathes slow around you like it's settling to rest
Every little creak is just the walls saying goodnight
Nobody needs to tell the dark to stay outside your door
It knows you're loved too well to ever cause a fright

[Pre-chorus]
Close your hands around the hush that's gathering in the room
Let the day fold up its noise and drift away somewhere
Feel how soft the dark can be when someone's watching over you

[Chorus]
Donna, the night is holding you so gently now
Nothing in this quiet room will ever let you down
Sleep can find you easy, Donna, safe beneath its weight
You are the warmest thing in every corner of this town

[Bridge]
Wherever you go once your eyes are finally closed
You'll carry this small warmth to every place you land

[Chorus]
Donna, the night is holding you so gently now
Nothing in this quiet room will ever let you down
Sleep can find you easy, Donna, safe beneath its weight
You are the warmest thing in every corner of this town

[Outro]
That stripe of light will still be waiting when the morning comes
So rest now, Donna, wrapped in every bit of love you've won
