A Stripe of Gold
Style: Gentle acoustic

[Verse 1]
A stripe of light slips softly across the wall tonight
Sliding so quietly past your bed as you lie still
It comes from a door left open just a little for you
So you always know somebody's near and always will

[Pre-chorus]
The house grows quiet, the whole wide world breathes slower
Your small hands rest, your busy day lets go
Close your eyes now, Glenn, and drift where the light is soft and low

[Chorus]
Glenn, the night is holding you so gently now
Every corner of this room was made to keep you warm
You are the softest word I whisper, Glenn, before you sleep
Glenn, you are safe here, you were never born to fear the dark

[Verse 2]
That thin gold line will still be there when morning comes to find you
Painting the wall the way it always finds its way to you
Nothing tonight is asking you to be anything but calm
You can let the whole day settle while the light says its goodnight too

[Bridge]
Rest your head where it is warmest, let your breathing find its tide
There is nothing waiting for you that the dark can't gently hide

[Chorus]
Glenn, the night is holding you so gently now
Every corner of this room was made to keep you warm
You are the softest word I whisper, Glenn, before you sleep
Glenn, you are safe here, you were never born to fear the dark

[Outro]
The stripe of light will keep its watch until the morning comes
Sleep now, Glenn, the whole night long is gentle, and it's yours
