A Sliver of Light
Style: Soft piano

[Verse 1]
A sliver of light slips gold across the old wooden floor
Just enough to find you curled up soft behind the door
The whole house has gone quiet, breathing slow around you
And I am watching over you, so you can drift once more

[Chorus]
Inaya, the dark is only resting, nothing more
You are held so gently, safer than you've ever been before
Close your eyes now, Inaya, let the night be kind
Inaya, I am here, and I am staying by your side

[Verse 2]
The hallway hums a little tune of golden, thinning light
Every shadow in this room has settled in for night
Nothing here can reach you, nothing here would dare
I will keep the quiet warm and wrapped around you tight

[Pre-chorus]
The light beneath the door will stay however long you need
Nothing in the dark tonight has any hold on you indeed
So let your small hands loosen, let your breathing slow and lead you

[Chorus]
Inaya, the dark is only resting, nothing more
You are held so gently, safer than you've ever been before
Close your eyes now, Inaya, let the night be kind
Inaya, I am here, and I am staying by your side

[Bridge]
Sleep can be a soft and golden river, drifting slow
Carrying you gently to wherever dreams may go
I will still be near you when the morning starts to grow

[Chorus]
Inaya, the dark is only resting, nothing more
You are held so gently, safer than you've ever been before
Close your eyes now, Inaya, let the night be kind
Inaya, I am here, and I am staying by your side

[Outro]
The light beneath the door will still be golden when you wake
Rest now, little one, there is no morning you could break
