A Sliver of Light
Style: Ambient wash

[Verse 1]
The hallway sends a sliver of light across your quiet floor
It rests upon the silver stars asleep on walls of blue
Nothing in this room will ever ask for anything more
Only that the dark stays kind and gentle, holding you

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the small light guide you down
There is nowhere safer than the place where you are found
So let the hush of evening wrap you soft and slow

[Chorus]
Oliver, the night has come to keep you, not to take you
Every star above this bed was only made to shine for you
Sleep will hold you gentle as the quiet hours wake you
Oliver, there is nothing here that wants to see you through

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past the door the house breathes slow and settles into rest
Every wall stands watchful while you drift beneath its care
You were carried here tonight because you matter more than most
And the whole room leans in closer just to keep you there

[Bridge]
No need to hold on tight, no need to fear the fading light
You are held by more than blankets, you are held by love tonight

[Chorus]
Oliver, the night has come to keep you, not to take you
Every star above this bed was only made to shine for you
Sleep will hold you gentle as the quiet hours wake you
Oliver, there is nothing here that wants to see you through

[Outro]
The sliver of the hallway light will watch you while you dream
Sleep now, Oliver, and rest inside that quiet, silver gleam
