Gleam on the Path
Style: Celesta and strings

[Verse 1]
Moonlight is spilling soft along the wet gravel tonight
Every small stone is catching a little silver light
Rusted and old, the watering can waits by the wall
Nothing out there could ever shine quite so bright as you might

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the hush come creeping in slow
Breathe with the dark and let the whole house settle low
Sleep is a door and you are drifting to where it leads

[Chorus]
Rita, Rita, sweeter than any garden in bloom
You are the warmth that fills this whole quiet room
Nothing could shake the calm that you carry through
Sleep now, Anita of my heart, there is no safer you

[Verse 2]
Somewhere the can still holds a puddle of fallen rain
Somewhere the path still gleams though the night hides all its grain
You are the reason I linger here watching it glow
Feeling how gently your breathing has softened again

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the hush come creeping in slow
Breathe with the dark and let the whole house settle low
Sleep is a door and you are drifting to where it leads

[Chorus]
Rita, Rita, sweeter than any garden in bloom
You are the warmth that fills this whole quiet room
Nothing could shake the calm that you carry through
Sleep now, Anita of my heart, there is no safer you

[Bridge]
Rest here where nothing can trouble your small and steady heart
Let every worry of daylight simply drift apart

[Chorus]
Rita, Rita, sweeter than any garden in bloom
You are the warmth that fills this whole quiet room
Nothing could shake the calm that you carry through
Sleep now, Anita of my heart, there is no safer you

[Outro]
Somewhere the gravel still gleams beneath a patient moon
You are held safe here, and morning will come soon
