A Line of Gold
Style: Kalimba night

[Verse 1]
A thin line of gold slips under the door tonight
reaching across the grey floor to find where you lie
softer than a whisper, steady as a tide
telling you that someone is near and holding the light

[Chorus]
Leilani, close your eyes now, let the dark be kind
Sleep is only a doorway, and I'm right behind
you never have to wonder if the warmth will stay
Leilani, my Leilani, drifting into the tide

[Verse 2]
The floorboards hum so quiet you could mistake it for song
cool beneath the golden light that stretches so long
nothing out there is waiting, nothing there is wrong
you are wrapped in something gentle the whole night long

[Pre-chorus]
Your breath is slowing now, soft as falling snow
the hallway light is steady, it isn't going to go
hold onto that glow and let your worries go

[Chorus]
Leilani, close your eyes now, let the dark be kind
Sleep is only a doorway, and I'm right behind
you never have to wonder if the warmth will stay
Leilani, my Leilani, drifting into the tide

[Bridge]
Even when the house falls silent, even when the night grows deep
that thin gold seam will hold its place while you're asleep
you are the reason it was ever lit at all

[Chorus]
Leilani, close your eyes now, let the dark be kind
Sleep is only a doorway, and I'm right behind
you never have to wonder if the warmth will stay
Leilani, my Leilani, drifting into the tide

[Outro]
The light will still be there when morning finds the floor
you are so loved, you never have to ask for more
