Little Sliver of Light
Style: Vibraphone drift

[Verse 1]
Warm water settles soft around you, quiet as a held breath
You watch the little duck go drifting, calm before its rest
Steam curls upward like a sigh the whole room seems to keep
You are the softest thing I know, my own small sliver of light

[Pre-chorus]
Your eyes are growing heavy now, the ripples slowing down
Every sound outside this room is far away and low
So let the warm and quiet carry you toward sleep

[Chorus]
River, River, hush now, let the night come in
You are held so gently, safe beneath your skin
Nothing in the dark tonight will ever make you shiver
Sleep now, sleep now, River

[Verse 2]
The bath grows still, the little duck stops turning on its side
You blink and stretch and settle deeper, sinking into calm
Someone lifts you soft and wraps you warm against the cold
You are the one this whole house waits for, quiet as a prayer

[Chorus]
River, River, hush now, let the night come in
You are held so gently, safe beneath your skin
Nothing in the dark tonight will ever make you shiver
Sleep now, sleep now, River

[Bridge]
Close your eyes, the day is finished, nothing left to chase
You can rest inside this moment, nowhere else to be

[Chorus]
River, River, hush now, let the night come in
You are held so gently, safe beneath your skin
Nothing in the dark tonight will ever make you shiver
Sleep now, sleep now, River

[Outro]
Somewhere still that small duck floats on water gone to glass
Sleep now, gently drifting, safe until the morning comes
