Through the Wall
Style: Flute and pad

[Verse 1]
Through the wall the old clock swings so slowly in its case
Counting every minute till the morning comes around
And the house breathes soft and low around this quiet resting place
While you settle deeper into every gentle sound

[Chorus]
Richard, close your eyes now, let the ticking be your guide
Nothing in the dark tonight will ever leave your side
Richard, you are held here, safer than you know is true
The whole night long is smiling down and watching over you

[Verse 2]
Somewhere down the hallway there's a pendulum that swings
Steady as a heartbeat in its case of polished wood
And it hums along so softly to the peace that sleeping brings
Reminding you that you are loved as well as understood

[Pre-chorus]
Let your shoulders soften now, the day has said goodnight
Every worry folds away and settles out of sight
So sink into the quiet as the stars begin to light

[Chorus]
Richard, close your eyes now, let the ticking be your guide
Nothing in the dark tonight will ever leave your side
Richard, you are held here, safer than you know is true
The whole night long is smiling down and watching over you

[Bridge]
Rest now, the whole world can wait until you wake
Sleep is a soft blanket that no worry dares to take

[Chorus]
Richard, close your eyes now, let the ticking be your guide
Nothing in the dark tonight will ever leave your side
Richard, you are held here, safer than you know is true
The whole night long is smiling down and watching over you

[Outro]
Through the wall the old clock keeps its steady, patient beat
Sleep now, Richard, safe and warm, till morning's soft and sweet
