Slow Light, Hayes
Style: Kalimba night

[Verse 1]
A light slips slow across the wall and then it fades away
born from some far road where cars are drifting home so late
it finds you lying warm before it quietly moves along
and I am sitting near you while the whole wide house stays calm

[Pre-chorus]
Nothing out there in the dark can reach this little room
the night is only softness gathering round you like a tune
and I will stay right here to watch the quiet come

[Chorus]
Hayes, the light is moving gentle, and so are all your days
the world outside is turning slowly in its careful ways
close your eyes now, let the darkness hum you into rest
Hayes, you are the calmest thing and you are truly blessed

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past the window cars are humming down a distant street
but here the only sound is breathing soft and slow and sweet
the beam glides past the ceiling like a hand that smooths your hair
and everything about this moment tells you love is here

[Pre-chorus]
Nothing out there in the dark can reach this little room
the night is only softness gathering round you like a tune
and I will stay right here to watch the quiet come

[Chorus]
Hayes, the light is moving gentle, and so are all your days
the world outside is turning slowly in its careful ways
close your eyes now, let the darkness hum you into rest
Hayes, you are the calmest thing and you are truly blessed

[Bridge]
Let every worry drift off like a car that's passed and gone
you are held here, safe and steady, till the coming dawn

[Chorus]
Hayes, the light is moving gentle, and so are all your days
the world outside is turning slowly in its careful ways
close your eyes now, let the darkness hum you into rest
Hayes, you are the calmest thing and you are truly blessed

[Outro]
The light has gone now, and the wall is still and softly grey
sleep well, my dear one, carried gently into your own days
