Between the Light and Sleep
Style: Glockenspiel

[Verse 1]
Little flecks of gold are rising through the window's narrow beam
You are watching them go up like tiny slow balloons unseen
Everything is quiet now, the softest hush I've ever seen
Rest your head and let the day dissolve to something calm and clean

[Pre-chorus]
The light is getting thinner as it leans across the floor
Hold my hand a little longer, you don't need to ask for more
Close your eyes and drift with me to somewhere warm and sure

[Chorus]
Jacqueline, my Jacqueline, the calmest name I've seen
Sleep is coming soft and slow to carry you between
You are held here, you are safe here, gentle and serene
Nothing in this whole wide world could touch my Jacqueline

[Verse 2]
The dust keeps floating upward like it's climbing towards a dream
You don't have to chase the light, just let it drift downstream
Somewhere past the ceiling there's a hush that's calm and clean
Sink into the pillow now, the softest in between

[Chorus]
Jacqueline, my Jacqueline, the calmest name I've seen
Sleep is coming soft and slow to carry you between
You are held here, you are safe here, gentle and serene
Nothing in this whole wide world could touch my Jacqueline

[Bridge]
Stay a while inside this golden hush with me
Let the whole night settle soft and slow and free

[Chorus]
Jacqueline, my Jacqueline, the calmest name I've seen
Sleep is coming soft and slow to carry you between
You are held here, you are safe here, gentle and serene
Nothing in this whole wide world could touch my Jacqueline

[Outro]
The light has gone to amber and the dust has settled down
You are sleeping soundly now, the calmest in the town
