The Glow Round the Door
Style: Vibraphone drift

[Verse 1]
The light from the doorway is spinning slow gold in the dark
and every small speck of it drifts like it's dancing for you
the whole house is quiet and holding its breath just to watch
so rest now, the glow will keep turning till morning comes through

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes while the dust keeps its slow, easy round
let the hush of the hallway settle soft without sound
and the warmth by the door will stay glowing for you

[Chorus]
Matthew, the light is still turning for you
holding you safe as the whole night grew
the glow round the door is a promise that's true
so sleep now, my Matthew, the dark won't shoo you

[Verse 2]
Somewhere beyond that soft orange line the whole world has gone still
every worry of the day has curled up and drifted from view
only the slow gold dust keeps moving, patient and low
and it circles you gently, the way that love always does too

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes while the dust keeps its slow, easy round
let the hush of the hallway settle soft without sound
and the warmth by the door will stay glowing for you

[Chorus]
Matthew, the light is still turning for you
holding you safe as the whole night grew
the glow round the door is a promise that's true
so sleep now, my Matthew, the dark won't shoo you

[Bridge]
Nothing can reach you where the warm light lies
no shadow will find you while the small dust flies
you are held here so gently, past counting, past measure

[Chorus]
Matthew, the light is still turning for you
holding you safe as the whole night grew
the glow round the door is a promise that's true
so sleep now, my Matthew, the dark won't shoo you

[Outro]
The dust will keep spinning long after you've gone to your dreaming
still turning that gold, still it's you that it's warming
