A Sliver of Light
Style: Rain and piano

[Verse 1]
A sliver of light slips beneath the old door on the landing
and lays itself down on the floor where you play
the whole house has gone quiet, gentle, understanding
waiting for you to close your eyes and drift away

[Pre-chorus]
The taps have stopped running, the water has settled and stilled
every small sound in the house is folding into one
hush now, the night is warm and it is willing

[Chorus]
Savannah, the light under the door is dimming slow for you
there is nothing in this house that means you harm
hold onto that thin gold line and know it's true
you are held here, Savannah, you are safe and warm

[Verse 2]
Somewhere down the hall a door clicks softly into place
and the last bit of brightness folds itself away
you don't need to keep your eyes open just in case
there is nothing waiting out there but the coming day

[Pre-chorus]
The taps have stopped running, the water has settled and stilled
every small sound in the house is folding into one
hush now, the night is warm and it is willing

[Chorus]
Savannah, the light under the door is dimming slow for you
there is nothing in this house that means you harm
hold onto that thin gold line and know it's true
you are held here, Savannah, you are safe and warm

[Bridge]
Let the last little glow go quietly out
there is no need to wonder, no need for doubt

[Chorus]
Savannah, the light under the door is dimming slow for you
there is nothing in this house that means you harm
hold onto that thin gold line and know it's true
you are held here, Savannah, you are safe and warm

[Outro]
The floor stays warm long after the light has gone from it
so let your eyes close soft now, there is nowhere else to be
