Gold on the Stairs
Style: Rocking chair waltz

[Verse 1]
The light on the stairs is turning soft and slow
catching every speck like it was gold
and the house breathes quiet all around your little glow
holding you the way it always will hold

[Chorus]
Mira, the whole house has gone still just for you
hush now, let the night come nearer
every small thing settles when it's watching you
Mira, sleep, there's nothing clearer

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past the ceiling the stars are settling too
folding into blankets made of grey
and nothing in this whole wide house would wake you
not tonight, not till the end of day

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes and let the hallway light grow dim
feel the warm hand resting on your chest
sleep is only love that's learned to hum a hymn

[Chorus]
Mira, the whole house has gone still just for you
hush now, let the night come nearer
every small thing settles when it's watching you
Mira, sleep, there's nothing clearer

[Bridge]
No one needs to say a single word
the quiet says it all instead
you are held by something soft and sure
long after the light has left your bed

[Chorus]
Mira, the whole house has gone still just for you
hush now, let the night come nearer
every small thing settles when it's watching you
Mira, sleep, there's nothing clearer

[Outro]
The gold dust settles slow along the stair
and you rest, so gently kept, so cared for there
