The Light Under the Door
Style: Ambient wash

[Verse 1]
The wallpaper glows soft and yellow beneath the door tonight
a thin little strip of gold, gentle and quiet light
it stays there while you drift, it never wanders far
it watches over you the way I watch, the way you are

[Pre-chorus]
Nothing in this house is stirring, everything has slowed
the whole world outside has settled, softened and slowed
and here inside you're held so warm, so easy, so

[Chorus]
Millie, the light stays low and steady while you sleep
nobody could love you deeper, nobody could love you as deep
hush now, let your breathing settle, let your small hands rest
of everyone I've ever known, you are held the best

[Verse 2]
The hallway hums a quiet tune the house has always known
a lullaby the old wood learned before you were fully grown
the shadows on the ceiling curl up soft and slow
they mean you nothing, love, they're only shapes that go

[Chorus]
Millie, the light stays low and steady while you sleep
nobody could love you deeper, nobody could love you as deep
hush now, let your breathing settle, let your small hands rest
of everyone I've ever known, you are held the best

[Bridge]
Sleep can be a soft small boat that carries you tonight
and I'll be sitting near the shore until the morning light

[Chorus]
Millie, the light stays low and steady while you sleep
nobody could love you deeper, nobody could love you as deep
hush now, let your breathing settle, let your small hands rest
of everyone I've ever known, you are held the best

[Outro]
That thin gold line beneath the door will still be glowing there
and I'll be near you all night long, my quiet love, my care
