The Slow Old Clock
Style: Humming choir

[Verse 1]
Down the hall the old clock keeps its slow and patient beat
Rocking gently in its box of dark and polished wood
Nothing in this house will stir before the morning light
Every tick is soft and low and calling home your sleep

[Pre-chorus]
Hear how quiet falls in step behind that steady sound
Feel the whole wide house grow still and settle all around
Close your eyes now, let it carry you where dreams are found

[Chorus]
Musa, the night is holding you so gently in its arms
Nothing can reach you here, no trouble and no harm
Rest now, Musa, let the dark wrap soft around your bed
Sleep is coming slowly like a warm and quiet charm

[Verse 2]
Somewhere the pendulum is swinging through its own small night
Back and forth so evenly, it never skips or strays
You are held the same way, steady, never left to fall
Safe inside the hours till the morning brings its light

[Bridge]
Every tick a promise that the dark will pass you by
Every swing a whisper that the morning's drawing nigh

[Chorus]
Musa, the night is holding you so gently in its arms
Nothing can reach you here, no trouble and no harm
Rest now, Musa, let the dark wrap soft around your bed
Sleep is coming slowly like a warm and quiet charm

[Outro]
Somewhere down the hall the old clock keeps its steady time
Sleep now, you are held and safe till morning comes to shine
