A Sliver of Light
Style: Flute and pad

[Verse 1]
Close your eyes now, love is watching just beyond the wooden door
There's a hush upon this house that you have never felt before
Every corner of this room is holding you in gentle care
Sleep will find you soft and slow, there's nothing waiting but the air

[Pre-chorus]
Somewhere down along the floor a thread of light begins to glow
Underneath the door it waits, so quiet, warm and low
It stays to watch you drifting as your breathing turns and slow

[Chorus]
Duncan, Duncan, rest your head and let the night grow still and long
Nothing here can reach you now, you're wrapped inside this quiet song
Sleep can hold you soft as sun can, gentle as a river runs
You are safe till morning comes, my Duncan, dearest one

[Verse 2]
Midnight settles like a blanket folding over every sound
Somewhere past the edge of dreaming, comfort wraps itself around
You are held by every corner, every shadow soft and slow
Nothing in this house will wake you, nothing here will let you go

[Pre-chorus]
Somewhere down along the floor a thread of light begins to glow
Underneath the door it waits, so quiet, warm and low
It stays to watch you drifting as your breathing turns and slow

[Chorus]
Duncan, Duncan, rest your head and let the night grow still and long
Nothing here can reach you now, you're wrapped inside this quiet song
Sleep can hold you soft as sun can, gentle as a river runs
You are safe till morning comes, my Duncan, dearest one

[Bridge]
Whatever waits beyond the door will keep till morning's light
You are loved beyond the counting, held here through the night

[Chorus]
Duncan, Duncan, rest your head and let the night grow still and long
Nothing here can reach you now, you're wrapped inside this quiet song
Sleep can hold you soft as sun can, gentle as a river runs
You are safe till morning comes, my Duncan, dearest one

[Outro]
That thread of light beneath the door will still be softly gleaming
You'll wake to find it waiting there, safe through all your dreaming
