Slow Light, Rick
Style: Cello cradle

[Verse 1]
Dust turns slowly in the light along the hallway floor
Drifting easy, in no hurry, going nowhere at all
Just like you, wrapped up warm and needing nothing more
Safe inside these walls, held closer than the fall

[Pre-chorus]
The hush is settling soft around this quiet room
Every breath of yours is slowing like the fading afternoon
And the dark outside is gentle, it will keep you soon

[Chorus]
Rick, the night is holding you the way I always will
Close your eyes, the world can wait beyond this windowsill
Rick, you are the warmest thing this house has ever held
Sleep now, little one, let every worry melt

[Verse 2]
The lamp outside throws one long beam across the floor
It touches nothing else but finds its way beneath the door
Like the love that finds you even when I say no more
It settles where you rest, the way it did before

[Pre-chorus]
The hush is settling soft around this quiet room
Every breath of yours is slowing like the fading afternoon
And the dark outside is gentle, it will keep you soon

[Chorus]
Rick, the night is holding you the way I always will
Close your eyes, the world can wait beyond this windowsill
Rick, you are the warmest thing this house has ever held
Sleep now, little one, let every worry melt

[Bridge]
Nothing in this house can reach you now
Only quiet, only breath, only calm somehow

[Chorus]
Rick, the night is holding you the way I always will
Close your eyes, the world can wait beyond this windowsill
Rick, you are the warmest thing this house has ever held
Sleep now, little one, let every worry melt

[Outro]
The light still drifts along the hallway, soft and slow
Sleep on, and know I'm watching over you, just so
