Gold Dust, Little One
Style: Accordion cradle

[Verse 1]
The lamp throws down a soft and hazy yellow glow tonight
and little specks of dust go drifting slowly through the light
a small moth circles round and round the warm and gentle bulb
while you lie safe and heavy, wrapped in blankets soft and dull

[Pre-chorus]
Watch how the quiet dust just floats and never has to fall
hear how the house breathes slow around these old and steady walls
and feel how nothing in this room is asking you for more

[Chorus]
Scott, the light is low and every worry finds its floor
rest here where the moth keeps turning gently by the door
nothing in this house will ever let you come to harm
Scott, you are the warmest thing inside this quiet calm

[Verse 2]
The moth will find its circle and it never strays too wide
content to stay so near the only light it knows at night
and you can learn from how it trusts the glow above your head
there's nowhere safer in the world than right here in this bed

[Chorus]
Scott, the light is low and every worry finds its floor
rest here where the moth keeps turning gently by the door
nothing in this house will ever let you come to harm
Scott, you are the warmest thing inside this quiet calm

[Bridge]
Let your breathing slow to match the turning of the moth
let the golden dust keep drifting soft as it falls

[Chorus]
Scott, the light is low and every worry finds its floor
rest here where the moth keeps turning gently by the door
nothing in this house will ever let you come to harm
Scott, you are the warmest thing inside this quiet calm

[Outro]
The dust will settle soon and so will you, my dear one
sleep now beneath the light where nothing bad has ever come
