The Light That Turns So Slow
Style: Celesta and strings

[Verse 1]
A quiet light is turning slow across the whitewashed wall
it climbs so soft it barely makes a sound at all
it pauses like it wants to stay
and I am here to catch you if you fall

[Pre-chorus]
The house breathes low around us and the dark is turning kind
the whole wide world can wait outside while sleep begins to find

[Chorus]
Naomi, the night is only holding you tonight
hush now, let the little lamp glow soft and low
,everything is closer than it seems, and you can trust it so
rest here, Naomi, and let the whole world know you

[Verse 2]
The beam moves on so gently that it hardly seems to go
it leaves a warmth behind it like the embers left to glow
it circles back to find you again
the way I always will, as you should know

[Pre-chorus]
The house breathes low around us and the dark is turning kind
the whole wide world can wait outside while sleep begins to find

[Chorus]
Naomi, the night is only holding you tonight
hush now, let the little lamp glow soft and low
everything is closer than it seems, and you can trust it so
rest here, Naomi, and let the whole world know you

[Bridge]
Sleep and let the turning light keep watch a while for you
nothing you could dream tonight could ever slip below you

[Chorus]
Naomi, the night is only holding you tonight
hush now, let the little lamp glow soft and low
everything is closer than it seems, and you can trust it so
rest here, Naomi, and let the whole world know you

[Outro]
The light will keep on turning soft long after you are sleeping
and I'll be here to watch it with you, close and keeping
