Gold Across the Floor
Style: Cello cradle

[Verse 1]
Dust turns slowly gold where the light comes creeping in
Falling soft and warm on the floor beside your bed
You watch it drift like something small and safe within
A quiet little world that glows around your head

[Pre-chorus]
Now the evening folds its wings and settles low
Every corner dims to amber, hushed and slow
Close your eyes and let the warmth begin to grow

[Chorus]
Mabel, the light still holds you soft and true
Nothing can reach you now, nothing can harm
Sleep in the glow that only knows you
Mabel, you rest inside this calm

[Verse 2]
Shadows grow long and gentle across the wooden floor
Stretching out slow like something learning how to rest
You breathe as easy as the hush behind the door
Curled where the last thin ribbon of gold felt best

[Pre-chorus]
Now the evening folds its wings and settles low
Every corner dims to amber, hushed and slow
Close your eyes and let the warmth begin to grow

[Chorus]
Mabel, the light still holds you soft and true
Nothing can reach you now, nothing can harm
Sleep in the glow that only knows you
Mabel, you rest inside this calm

[Bridge]
Somewhere the sun has already gone to sleep
But its last warm breath still lingers here for you
Held in this room where nothing moves too deep

[Chorus]
Mabel, the light still holds you soft and true
Nothing can reach you now, nothing can harm
Sleep in the glow that only knows you
Mabel, you rest inside this calm

[Outro]
Somewhere that gold still turns slow across the floor
And you are held there, safe, and needing nothing more
