The Gate Light Glows for Doris
Style: Celesta and strings

[Verse 1]
The gravel gleams so softly where the amber light is glowing
One small lamp above the garden gate is always slowly showing
That the path is safe and gentle, every stone is smooth and known
You are never in the dark tonight, you never walk alone

[Pre-chorus]
So let the evening settle soft as feathers on your skin
Let the quiet gather round you till the hush comes drifting in
And the whole wide night grows tender, gently pulling your eyes closed

[Chorus]
Doris, the light by the gate glows for us
Warm as a promise that nothing will fuss
You are the glorious heart of this house
Doris, sleep soft as a hush from a mouse

[Verse 2]
Every drop of rain that settled on the gravel holds a shimmer
Just like every breath you're taking now is soft and growing dimmer
Nothing here can reach you, nothing here will make a sound
You are wrapped in warmth and stillness, safe and steady, safe and sound

[Pre-chorus]
So let the evening settle soft as feathers on your skin
Let the quiet gather round you till the hush comes drifting in
And the whole wide night grows tender, gently pulling your eyes closed

[Chorus]
Doris, the light by the gate glows for us
Warm as a promise that nothing will fuss
You are the glorious heart of this house
Doris, sleep soft as a hush from a mouse

[Bridge]
Rest now, let the glow keep watching while you dream your quiet dreams
Nothing hurries, nothing frightens, nothing is quite what it seems
You are held here, you are certain, you are steady, you are still

[Chorus]
Doris, the light by the gate glows for us
Warm as a promise that nothing will fuss
You are the glorious heart of this house
Doris, sleep soft as a hush from a mouse

[Outro]
The gate light glows on quietly while you drift away to sleep
Safe and warm and wholly loved, yours to keep, yours to keep
