Gloria
Style: Vibraphone drift

[Verse 1]
The buckle hangs loose now, the long ride is done
And the door frame holds it soft, like an arm at rest
You are carried in slowly, safe under the sun
Every mile of the day folding into your chest

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the hum of the world grow far
Let the porch light dim to nothing but a low, warm glow
Sleep is coming gentle, closer than you know it are

[Chorus]
Gloria, the night is wrapping soft around your bed
Nothing here can hurt you, nothing here will pull you far
Gloria, I'll hum you something quiet instead
Rest now, little Gloria, my own small evening star

[Verse 2]
The house has gone to whispers, every window turned to grey
Somewhere far a car door closes, easy, slow and light
You don't have to travel further, you don't have to stay awake
Just let go of the day now, let it drift into the night

[Chorus]
Gloria, the night is wrapping soft around your bed
Nothing here can hurt you, nothing here will pull you far
Gloria, I'll hum you something quiet instead
Rest now, little Gloria, my own small evening star

[Bridge]
Wherever your day has taken you, you always land back here
Held and warm and steady, nothing left for you to fear

[Chorus]
Gloria, the night is wrapping soft around your bed
Nothing here can hurt you, nothing here will pull you far
Gloria, I'll hum you something quiet instead
Rest now, little Gloria, my own small evening star

[Outro]
The buckle rests easy now, still against the door
Sleep soft, sleep deep, you are home, you need nothing more
