A Sliver of Light
Style: Rain and piano

[Verse 1]
A thin gold line falls softly across your floor tonight
Sleep is waiting there to carry you soft and slow
Close your eyes now, let go of all you carried today
Nothing can reach you here where the quiet colours grow

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the whole wide house has settled down to rest
Every small sound outside has learned to lower its voice
So let the hush come closer and hold you gently

[Chorus]
Freya, the light stays on just for you tonight
You are the warmest thing in this whole quiet house
Sleep soft, my Freya, wrapped up safe until morning
Nothing will wake you, nothing will find you now

[Verse 2]
Somewhere a door stands open just a careful inch
Enough for love to slip through and settle near your bed
You never have to ask if someone's watching over you
Because they always are, right there beside your head

[Chorus]
Freya, the light stays on just for you tonight
You are the warmest thing in this whole quiet house
Sleep soft, my Freya, wrapped up safe until morning
Nothing will wake you, nothing will find you now

[Bridge]
Rain on the window, soft as a held breath
Piano notes falling slower than the dark
You are held here, you are always held here

[Chorus]
Freya, the light stays on just for you tonight
You are the warmest thing in this whole quiet house
Sleep soft, my Freya, wrapped up safe until morning
Nothing will wake you, nothing will find you now

[Outro]
That thin gold line will still be waiting when you wake
Just like the love that never once looked away
