Gold Dust, Slow Light
Style: Harp lullaby

[Verse 1]
Look how the light comes soft and low across the floor tonight
Little specks are turning slowly, catching all the gold
You are wrapped inside this quiet, held and warm and right
Nothing in this room will hurry, nothing will grow cold

[Chorus]
Finlay, the evening folds around you gentle as a sigh
Sleep is only drifting closer, nothing to be feared
Every little breath you're taking, Finlay, drifts on by
Rest now in the hush and know that you are held here

[Verse 2]
The dust will keep on turning long after your eyes close
Slow and small and never falling, always safe to stay
Somewhere past this quiet window the whole wide dark world goes
But here the light lies down beside you soft as tin tray

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the last light lean and settle on your skin
Nothing asks you to be anywhere but here
So let the warm hours gather slowly and pull you in

[Chorus]
Finlay, the evening folds around you gentle as a sigh
Sleep is only drifting closer, nothing to be feared
Every little breath you're taking, Finlay, drifts on by
Rest now in the hush and know that you are held here

[Bridge]
Somebody is watching over every slow turn that you make
Somebody will still be near you long after the light has gone

[Chorus]
Finlay, the evening folds around you gentle as a sigh
Sleep is only drifting closer, nothing to be feared
Every little breath you're taking, Finlay, drifts on by
Rest now in the hush and know that you are held here

[Outro]
The light has slipped away now but the warmth it left is staying
Sleep on, small one, the gold dust settles soft on you tonight
