Dust and Quiet
Style: Rain and piano

[Verse 1]
Dust is drifting slow through the open door at midnight
Riding on the quiet like it's learning how to fly
Nothing in this house is moving faster than a whisper
And nothing here would ever make you cry

[Pre-chorus]
Somewhere past the hallway the whole wide world is turning
But in here the air is soft and the dark is kind
So let your breathing follow every little light that's floating

[Chorus]
Ezekiel, the night is holding still for you
Every hour is gentle, every shadow tame
Close your eyes, Ezekiel, let the dark be easy
You are loved by name, you are loved by name

[Verse 2]
The little specks of dust hang golden in the hallway light
Too slow to fall, too soft to make a single sound
This is how the whole world moves when you are sleeping
Careful, quiet, keeping watch all around

[Bridge]
Rain is counting seconds soft against the windowpane
Piano notes are falling just as slow as you can dream

[Chorus]
Ezekiel, the night is holding still for you
Every hour is gentle, every shadow tame
Close your eyes, Ezekiel, let the dark be easy
You are loved by name, you are loved by name

[Outro]
The dust will keep on drifting long after you have gone to sleep
And you'll be held as gently as the quiet it will keep
