Long Silver Light
Style: Gentle acoustic

[Verse 1]
The dust drifts slow through a long silver beam of moonlight
Settling soft on the walls where your small breaths go
I watch it fall while you rest, so warm and so quiet
And nothing tonight has to hurry or know

[Pre-chorus]
The house grows still and the shadows lean in to listen
Every small sound settles down into hush
And you are held here where the moonlight is drifting

[Chorus]
Mark, you are the warmest thing in this whole dark
Sleep now, let the night be soft and be far
Nothing here will wake you, nothing here will start
Rest easy, Mark, you're my quiet, steady spark

[Verse 2]
The motes turn so slowly, like they too are dreaming
Caught in the light that falls gentle and grey
I sit here beside you while the whole house is easing
Into the calm at the end of the day

[Chorus]
Mark, you are the warmest thing in this whole dark
Sleep now, let the night be soft and be far
Nothing here will wake you, nothing here will start
Rest easy, Mark, you're my quiet, steady spark

[Bridge]
However far the night stretches on, you are held
Nothing out there in the dark comes too near
Sleep is only another soft room you are welcome in

[Chorus]
Mark, you are the warmest thing in this whole dark
Sleep now, let the night be soft and be far
Nothing here will wake you, nothing here will start
Rest easy, Mark, you're my quiet, steady spark

[Outro]
The silver light still drifts slow while you are sleeping
I'll stay right here, keeping watch through the dark
