The Wooden Clock Is Chiming
Style: Fingerpicked night

[Verse 1]
Somewhere down the hall a wooden clock is chiming soft and slow
and every gentle sound it makes is one more sign you're safe to go
the dark outside your window holds no reason left to fear
because the ones who love you most are always near

[Pre-chorus]
The chime is fading out into the quiet of the room
and every breath you take is pulling you toward sleep and moon
so let your tired eyes grow heavy, let the night come creeping through

[Chorus]
Heidi, hush now, let the darkness hold you steady
rest your head, the whole wide house is ready
you are cherished more than any words could ever say
Heidi, close your eyes and drift away

[Verse 2]
The little chime keeps counting out the minutes soft and slow
it never rushes, never hurries, always gentle as it goes
and just like that old steady clock you're loved through every hour
held inside a warmth no dark could ever overpower

[Pre-chorus]
The chime is fading out into the quiet of the room
and every breath you take is pulling you toward sleep and moon
so let your tired eyes grow heavy, let the night come creeping through

[Chorus]
Heidi, hush now, let the darkness hold you steady
rest your head, the whole wide house is ready
you are cherished more than any words could ever say
Heidi, close your eyes and drift away

[Bridge]
Nothing in the dark can touch the peace you carry now
every worry melts away, you don't need to ask how
you are wrapped in something warmer than the softest blanket knows

[Chorus]
Heidi, hush now, let the darkness hold you steady
rest your head, the whole wide house is ready
you are cherished more than any words could ever say
Heidi, close your eyes and drift away

[Outro]
Somewhere down the hall that wooden clock still ticks along so slow
sleep now, little one, and let its quiet rhythm carry you below
