A Sliver of Light
Style: Gentle acoustic

[Verse 1]
There's a sliver of white wall glowing through the gap in the door
and it tells you that the house is still awake and near
every shadow in this room has curled up on the floor
close your eyes now, love, there's nothing you should fear

[Pre-chorus]
The quiet settles soft around your little turning head
the whole wide world can wait outside until it's light
so let your busy thoughts unwind and rest instead

[Chorus]
Kristian, sleep now, you are held and you are known
every breath you take tonight is safe and warm and slow
the dark won't ever leave you here alone
Kristian, drift away, it's time to let it go

[Verse 2]
That thin line of light beneath the door will stay right there
it's keeping watch so you don't have to keep it too
you can let the whole day loosen out of your hair
the night is only holding on to you

[Pre-chorus]
The quiet settles soft around your little turning head
the whole wide world can wait outside until it's light
so let your busy thoughts unwind and rest instead

[Chorus]
Kristian, sleep now, you are held and you are known
every breath you take tonight is safe and warm and slow
the dark won't ever leave you here alone
Kristian, drift away, it's time to let it go

[Bridge]
Somebody's near if the smallest sound should wake you
nothing tonight will ever come to take you

[Chorus]
Kristian, sleep now, you are held and you are known
every breath you take tonight is safe and warm and slow
the dark won't ever leave you here alone
Kristian, drift away, it's time to let it go

[Outro]
That sliver of light will still be glowing when you wake
rest now, love, it's yours to keep, not yours to make
