A Thin Line of Gold
Style: Harp lullaby

[Verse 1]
A thin line of gold is resting under the door tonight
Somewhere past your window the whole wide world has gone still
You are wrapped up warm where nothing can reach you now
Close your eyes, my darling, and rest here until you've had your fill

[Pre-chorus]
Every sound outside has softened into a hush
The house breathes slow around you, steady and low
Let the quiet carry you further, further you go

[Chorus]
Harold, sleep now, the whole house is holding you close
There's nowhere safer than this small and gentle room
Harold, the light by the door will stay till morning
Rest easy, rest easy, you're not leaving my care too soon

[Verse 2]
The floor outside has held a thousand quiet footsteps home
Tonight it only waits, patient, while you drift to sleep
Nothing needs to happen now, no reason to wake or wonder
You are the one thing in this house I mean to keep

[Bridge]
When the morning finally climbs in through the curtain
You'll find the same warm hands still around you

[Chorus]
Harold, sleep now, the whole house is holding you close
There's nowhere safer than this small and gentle room
Harold, the light by the door will stay till morning
Rest easy, rest easy, you're not leaving my care too soon

[Outro]
That thin line of gold will still be glowing when you wake
Sleep now, little one, for love's sake
