The Door Stays Wide
Style: Fingerpicked night

[Verse 1]
The door stays open where the brass hinges softly gleam
And I will leave it wide so you never feel alone
Every shadow in this room is gentle as a dream
You are the softest thing that this old house has known

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the hours grow slow and kind
Nothing in the dark tonight is reaching out for you
There is nothing you need carry, nothing you need find

[Chorus]
Donna, sleep is calling soft and low
Rest inside the warmth that's all your own
You are safe wherever this night may go
Donna, you are never, ever alone

[Verse 2]
The candle by the window burns down slow and low
Watching over you the way it always will
Outside the wind is humming something soft and slow
And even it seems careful to be still

[Bridge]
Rest your head, the whole wide world can wait
Nothing tonight will ever come too near
Sleep now, there is no need to be afraid

[Chorus]
Donna, sleep is calling soft and low
Rest inside the warmth that's all your own
You are safe wherever this night may go
Donna, you are never, ever alone

[Outro]
The door stays wide, the brass still catching light
Sleep now, love is watching through the night
