The Slow White Light
Style: Vibraphone drift

[Verse 1]
A slow white beam is drifting across the quiet ceiling
and every time it passes it hums a gentle tune
it circles round so softly, so steady in its feeling
like something built to watch you from evening into noon

[Pre-chorus]
The house has gone to whispers and the walls have learned to sway
your breathing finds the rhythm that the light lays down each night
so let the day dissolve now and drift a little away

[Chorus]
Sebastian, the dark is only kindness in disguise
there's nothing in this room tonight but comfort and its guest
so close your tired question, let it rest behind your eyes
Sebastian, you're held here, you can let go of the rest

[Verse 2]
The beam moves like a hand that's tracing shapes upon the plaster
it never seems to hurry, never once forgets its way
it turns as if it's guarding you from anything that's faster
than the calm and steady turning of a warm and settled day

[Bridge]
Nothing here will startle you, nothing here will roam
every slow rotation says you're wanted, you're at home

[Chorus]
Sebastian, the dark is only kindness in disguise
there's nothing in this room tonight but comfort and its guest
so close your tired question, let it rest behind your eyes
Sebastian, you're held here, you can let go of the rest

[Outro]
The light will keep on turning while you settle into sleep
and someone here beside you means to keep you safe to keep
