Dust and Light
Style: Harp lullaby

[Verse 1]
Little motes of dust go spinning slowly down the stair
Falling through a beam of evening light so soft and slow
You are held inside this quiet like the softest care
Nothing in this house will hurry, nothing needs to go

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes and let the day float out and drift away
The house is breathing gently, and the dark is kind tonight
Sleep is only waiting for a name to come and stay

[Chorus]
Lesley, Lesley, hush now, let the hours turn to sand
Rest your head, my darling, everything is going gently
The whole wide world can wait outside while you are held so grand
Lesley, you are loved so calmly, loved so tenderly

[Verse 2]
The beam of light moves slower now, it settles on the floor
Just like your breathing settling deeper into sleep
Nothing that you carried in will follow through that door
Only quiet keeping watch, and quiet keeping deep

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes and let the day float out and drift away
The house is breathing gently, and the dark is kind tonight
Sleep is only waiting for a name to come and stay

[Chorus]
Lesley, Lesley, hush now, let the hours turn to sand
Rest your head, my darling, everything is going gently
The whole wide world can wait outside while you are held so grand
Lesley, you are loved so calmly, loved so tenderly

[Bridge]
Even in the dimmest room you're never left alone
Every breath you take tonight is watched and warmly known

[Chorus]
Lesley, Lesley, hush now, let the hours turn to sand
Rest your head, my darling, everything is going gently
The whole wide world can wait outside while you are held so grand
Lesley, you are loved so calmly, loved so tenderly

[Outro]
The dust has settled softly on the last step of the stair
Sleep now, little Lesley, you are safe and you are cared for
