Dust in the Golden Light
Style: Clarinet nightlight

[Verse 1]
The light falls slow across the striped wall by your bed
Little specks of dust are drifting through the amber haze
You watch them turn and settle just above your sleepy head
While the whole wide room goes quiet and the evening stays

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the golden hush come drifting near
Every breath you take is carried soft and slow and deep
There is nothing in this room tonight for you to fear

[Chorus]
Nehemiah, hush now, sleep is calling low and mild
Nothing in the dark can ever reach you, dear one, higher
Nehemiah, you are held here like the gentlest child
Safe and warm and wanted, sweeter than the softest fire

[Verse 2]
The stripes upon the wallpaper are turning into grey
Somewhere far away the last of daylight starts to fade
You are wrapped in blankets warmer than the end of day
Nothing in this whole wide world could make you feel afraid

[Chorus]
Nehemiah, hush now, sleep is calling low and mild
Nothing in the dark can ever reach you, dear one, higher
Nehemiah, you are held here like the gentlest child
Safe and warm and wanted, sweeter than the softest fire

[Bridge]
Every little breath you breathe is one that I am counting
Sleep will hold you gently till the morning light returns

[Chorus]
Nehemiah, hush now, sleep is calling low and mild
Nothing in the dark can ever reach you, dear one, higher
Nehemiah, you are held here like the gentlest child
Safe and warm and wanted, sweeter than the softest fire

[Outro]
The dust still drifts through light that's fading soft and slow
And you are loved here more than you will ever know
