Slow the Light
Style: Flute and pad

[Verse 1]
Watch the small dust turning slow above the quiet cot
Drifting without hurry through the pale and fading light
Nothing in this room is asking anything of what you've got
Only settling gently now, only softening the night

[Chorus]
Madison, the dark is only kindness wearing grey
Madison, you're held here closer than you'll ever know
Nothing needs deciding, there's no reason left to stay awake
Rest inside the quiet that was always yours to hold

[Verse 2]
Somewhere far off houses settle, roofs are breathing slow
Every small light in the street is dimming one by one
You don't have to watch it, you don't have to know
You are warmer than the last spark of the sun

[Pre-chorus]
Let your breathing find the rhythm that the whole house keeps
Feel the weight behind your eyelids growing kind and slow
There's a hush that's only waiting for the moment that you sleep

[Chorus]
Madison, the dark is only kindness wearing grey
Madison, you're held here closer than you'll ever know
Nothing needs deciding, there's no reason left to stay awake
Rest inside the quiet that was always yours to hold

[Bridge]
Nothing in this house will move to wake you before dawn
Every soft thing here was chosen just to keep you calm

[Chorus]
Madison, the dark is only kindness wearing grey
Madison, you're held here closer than you'll ever know
Nothing needs deciding, there's no reason left to stay awake
Rest inside the quiet that was always yours to hold

[Outro]
The dust has stopped its turning, settled soft as breath can be
Sleep now, you were always safe, and always loved by me
