A Sliver of Light
Style: Cello cradle

[Verse 1]
A thin line of gold slips beneath the door tonight
and finds its way across the floor to where you lie
it moves so slow and quiet, careful not to startle you
like it knows the softest way of saying goodnight

[Chorus]
Hazel, hush now, let the evening hold you close
you are the reason every lamp stays low and kind
Hazel, nothing in this house would dare to wake you
sleep is yours tonight, and every night you'll find

[Verse 2]
The wooden floor remembers every step that loves you
it creaks a little tune to say that you're not alone
somewhere past the door the whole house breathes around you
keeping every worry further from your own

[Pre-chorus]
Let your small hands rest, there's nothing left to carry
the dark outside your window means you no harm
so let your eyes grow heavy, let the hush grow warmer

[Chorus]
Hazel, hush now, let the evening hold you close
you are the reason every lamp stays low and kind
Hazel, nothing in this house would dare to wake you
sleep is yours tonight, and every night you'll find

[Bridge]
Even light knows how to soften when it finds you
folding low along the floor to keep you calm
nothing loud will ever reach this room to find you

[Chorus]
Hazel, hush now, let the evening hold you close
you are the reason every lamp stays low and kind
Hazel, nothing in this house would dare to wake you
sleep is yours tonight, and every night you'll find

[Outro]
That thin gold light will keep its watch till morning
and you'll still be the warmest thing it's ever found
