The Wedge of Light
Style: Celesta and strings

[Verse 1]
A thread of gold slips softly through the door
and dust turns slow, so calm above the floor
I watch it drift and think of how you rest
so small and warm against a gentle chest

[Chorus]
Scarlett, the whole wide house is holding still for you
the quiet settles soft the way it always will for you
Sleep now, my darling, let the dark be kind
Scarlett, there's nothing waiting but the morning light behind

[Verse 2]
Your breathing slows to match the fading light
your small hand finds mine gently through the night
No shadow here will ever climb this high
I'll keep you closer than the passing sky

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the hours are turning soft and slow
every worry melting into candle glow
and here is where the quiet wants to go

[Chorus]
Scarlett, the whole wide house is holding still for you
the quiet settles soft the way it always will for you
Sleep now, my darling, let the dark be kind
Scarlett, there's nothing waiting but the morning light behind

[Bridge]
Rest inside the hush that holds us near
nothing in this house but love and here
Let the night be gentle, let it stay
I will keep the morning safe away

[Chorus]
Scarlett, the whole wide house is holding still for you
the quiet settles soft the way it always will for you
Sleep now, my darling, let the dark be kind
Scarlett, there's nothing waiting but the morning light behind

[Outro]
The light beneath the door will keep its gentle place
watching soft and steady over your sleeping face
