Long Silver Beam
Style: Glockenspiel

[Verse 1]
A long silver beam is sweeping slowly across your wall
It slips through the salt crusted glass so soft and small
Nothing out there can ever find its way in
You're held here so gently, you'll never fall

[Chorus]
Roman, the night is only holding you close
Sleep finds you first and loves you the most
Every quiet hour is yours alone
Roman, you're the safest you have ever known

[Verse 2]
The beam moves on and leaves a hush of silver behind
It paints your ceiling calm, it eases your mind
Nothing tonight will ever ask you to wake
You are the warmest thing this house will ever find

[Pre-chorus]
The glass is dark but nothing dark comes through it
Your breathing slows, the whole room seems to know it
And every corner leans in soft to keep you

[Chorus]
Roman, the night is only holding you close
Sleep finds you first and loves you the most
Every quiet hour is yours alone
Roman, you're the safest you have ever known

[Bridge]
Rest your small hand open, let the dark be kind
No need to carry morning yet, just leave it behind
You are loved so wide it fills this whole small room

[Chorus]
Roman, the night is only holding you close
Sleep finds you first and loves you the most
Every quiet hour is yours alone
Roman, you're the safest you have ever known

[Outro]
The silver beam has settled soft and still upon your wall
Sleep now, Roman, you are held here through it all
