A Line of Gold
Style: Rocking chair waltz

[Verse 1]
A thin line of light comes creeping under the door tonight
It lays itself so gently down along the floor
You are curled up warm beneath your blanket out of sight
Safe as you have always been and safer than before

[Chorus]
Raya, the house breathes slow around you now
Every corner soft, every shadow kind
Nothing stirs but the hush of Raya drifting down
Held so close that nothing gets left behind

[Verse 2]
The hallway glow stays low and steady while you close your eyes
It never needs to reach you, it only needs to stay
Somewhere past the door the whole wide world quietly sighs
And folds itself around the small breath of your day

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the ticking clock grow far and small
Let your fingers loosen, let your shoulders fall
Something warm is waiting just to carry you along

[Chorus]
Raya, the house breathes slow around you now
Every corner soft, every shadow kind
Nothing stirs but the hush of Raya drifting down
Held so close that nothing gets left behind

[Bridge]
No need to watch the dark, it only means the day is done
You are the softest thing this quiet house has ever known

[Chorus]
Raya, the house breathes slow around you now
Every corner soft, every shadow kind
Nothing stirs but the hush of Raya drifting down
Held so close that nothing gets left behind

[Outro]
That thin line of light will still be there when morning comes
And so will this, and so will you, and so will love
