The Thin Gold Line
Style: Clarinet nightlight

[Verse 1]
A sliver of light waits under the door tonight
Yellow carpet glowing soft and low and warm and bright
Nothing in this room will stir before the day is due
Everything out there is standing watch for you

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the day go still and slow
There is nowhere safer than the place you are, you know
Just this quiet, just this glow, and one more breath to go

[Chorus]
Sandra, hush now, let the dark be kind and slow
Nothing in the whole wide house will let you go
Sandra, sleep, the light stays on until you wake
Every corner of this house is yours to take

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past the door the house breathes soft and slow
Keeping every worry far away, however small it grows
You are held here tighter than the blankets ever could
Sleep as deep and easy as you always should

[Bridge]
No shadow finds a way past the love that fills this room
Rest now, let the whole wide night hum you back to bloom

[Chorus]
Sandra, hush now, let the dark be kind and slow
Nothing in the whole wide house will let you go
Sandra, sleep, the light stays on until you wake
Every corner of this house is yours to take

[Outro]
That thin gold line will still be glowing when you rise
Waiting there to greet the morning in your eyes
