The Hinge Light
Style: Glockenspiel

[Verse 1]
A thin gold light slips underneath the door tonight
Watching over you until the morning finds its way
Small brass hinge holding steady, never making a sound
Nothing in this house will wake you, sleeping safe and bright

[Chorus]
Karen, close your eyes now, let the quiet carry you
Every little breath you take is something we are caring for
Sharon down the hallway hums the same soft tune as you
Karen, you are held here, you are loved here, through and through

[Verse 2]
Somewhere down the hall a lamp is glowing low and slow
Keeping watch so nothing in the dark can reach your bed
Shadows only dance a little, then they drift and go
You are wrapped in warmth that never once will let you go

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the hinges creak so gently shut
Let the house breathe with you, settling into rest
One more song before the stillness folds you in

[Chorus]
Karen, close your eyes now, let the quiet carry you
Every little breath you take is something we are caring for
Sharon down the hallway hums the same soft tune as you
Karen, you are held here, you are loved here, through and through

[Bridge]
Nothing needs to hurry, nothing needs to keep you waking
Sleep can be as soft and slow as candlelight is fading

[Chorus]
Karen, close your eyes now, let the quiet carry you
Every little breath you take is something we are caring for
Sharon down the hallway hums the same soft tune as you
Karen, you are held here, you are loved here, through and through

[Outro]
That same small light will still be glowing when you wake
Bright as the love that never dims, that never breaks
