Gold on the Landing
Style: Kalimba night

[Verse 1]
Golden dust is turning slowly on the dark landing tonight
Something soft is holding still just to watch you close your eyes
Little sparks are floating gently in that thin and yellow light
You are safe beneath this quiet, you are held where softness lies

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the hallway dim and let your breathing slow
Nothing in this house will wake you, nothing needs to know
Sleep is coming closer, closer, soft as it can go

[Chorus]
Evan, the light is falling gentle just for you
Rest in the hush that's older than the whole wide sky is blue
Nothing will stir before the morning, nothing will come through
Evan, you're the calmest thing this quiet house has ever knew

[Verse 2]
Shadows on the wall are slower than the ones that came before
Every little sound is settling like snow upon the floor
You don't need to keep your eyes on anything anymore
Close them soft and drift away to somewhere warmer than this door

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the hallway dim and let your breathing slow
Nothing in this house will wake you, nothing needs to know
Sleep is coming closer, closer, soft as it can go

[Chorus]
Evan, the light is falling gentle just for you
Rest in the hush that's older than the whole wide sky is blue
Nothing will stir before the morning, nothing will come through
Evan, you're the calmest thing this quiet house has ever knew

[Bridge]
Whatever the dark is holding, it is holding gold tonight
Whatever you carry into sleep will carry you home just right

[Chorus]
Evan, the light is falling gentle just for you
Rest in the hush that's older than the whole wide sky is blue
Nothing will stir before the morning, nothing will come through
Evan, you're the calmest thing this quiet house has ever knew

[Outro]
The dust has settled soft and low upon the landing floor
Sleep well, the light will still be waiting when you wake once more
