Sliver of Gold
Style: Glockenspiel

[Verse 1]
A sliver of gold slips under the door tonight
Falling so soft across the grey of the floor
Nothing can reach you, tucked away out of sight
Close your eyes now, you don't need to see any more

[Pre-chorus]
Somewhere beyond that thin and glowing line
Every worry of the day is folding down
Rest here where the quiet is only mine and thine

[Chorus]
Gavin, the whole wide house is holding still for you
Nothing will stir until the morning comes again
Every hush in every room is holding still for you
Sleep now, Gavin, safe from any kind of rain

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past the hallway a small light keeps watch
Waiting so patiently while you drift and dream
Nobody needs to hurry, nothing needs to match
You are exactly where you're meant to be, it seems

[Bridge]
Let the dark be gentle, let the dark be kind
Wrapping you in stillness till the morning light

[Chorus]
Gavin, the whole wide house is holding still for you
Nothing will stir until the morning comes again
Every hush in every room is holding still for you
Sleep now, Gavin, safe from any kind of rain

[Outro]
That sliver of gold will still be there when you wake
Soft as it was, and steady, for your sake
