A Strip of Gold
Style: Harp lullaby

[Verse 1]
A strip of yellow light falls softly on the floor tonight
Across the green and patterned carpet where you love to play
It stretches thin and gold until it disappears from sight
But you are held here safely at the ending of the day

[Chorus]
Hana, Hana, close your eyes and let the light go dim
The whole wide house is breathing slow around you like a hymn
Hana, you're the softest hush that ever filled a room
And you will still be loved this much when morning takes the gloom

[Verse 2]
The door will stay a little open just the way you like
And nothing in the shadows means you any kind of harm
The dark tonight is gentle as it settles in to bide
It only wants to wrap around you like another arm

[Pre-chorus]
So let your busy little hands go quiet on the sheet
And let the last light fade to nothing soft beneath the door
There's nowhere you need be but here, all warm and safe and sweet

[Chorus]
Hana, Hana, close your eyes and let the light go dim
The whole wide house is breathing slow around you like a hymn
Hana, you're the softest hush that ever filled a room
And you will still be loved this much when morning takes the gloom

[Bridge]
Somewhere a lamp is burning low so you don't feel alone
Somewhere your name is being said like it's the gentlest song
Sleep now and know that you are wanted, treasured and at home

[Chorus]
Hana, Hana, close your eyes and let the light go dim
The whole wide house is breathing slow around you like a hymn
Hana, you're the softest hush that ever filled a room
And you will still be loved this much when morning takes the gloom

[Outro]
The gold has left the carpet now, the door is nearly still
Sleep well, dear Hana, you are safe, and always will
