Down the Hall
Style: Cello cradle

[Verse 1]
Somewhere down the hall a quiet pendulum is swinging slow
Behind the old oak door it keeps its steady, patient time
And every gentle sway is asking nothing more of you
Than to close your eyes and let the hours climb

[Pre-chorus]
The whole house has gone soft and low around your little bed
Every corner of this night is leaning in to keep you warm
And the dark outside is only quiet, gathering its arms

[Chorus]
Sadie, the night is holding you exactly where you lie
Nothing out there in the shadows means you any harm
Sleep is just a door that opens soft to let you drift, Sadie
Safe here, always safe here, wrapped in warm

[Verse 2]
Somewhere a clock is counting out the minutes soft and slow
Marking every breath you take as something dear and small
There is nothing it could count that matters more than you
Nothing that it keeps could ever fall

[Bridge]
Let the ticking fade to nothing but a hush against your ear
Let the dark be just a blanket someone folded near

[Chorus]
Sadie, the night is holding you exactly where you lie
Nothing out there in the shadows means you any harm
Sleep is just a door that opens soft to let you drift, Sadie
Safe here, always safe here, wrapped in warm

[Outro]
Somewhere down the hall the pendulum has settled soft and still
Rest now, little Sadie, safe and warm until
