Dust and Quiet
Style: Rain and piano

[Verse 1]
Little bits of light are floating past the door
drifting slow above the shadows on the floor
and the house breathes soft around you where you lie
holding all its quiet just to say goodnight

[Pre-chorus]
Somewhere past the hallway, something gold and small
catches on the air and settles near the wall
and it seems to know the way your breathing slows

[Chorus]
Sian, the whole house leans in close to keep you warm
every creak and hush is here to guard your calm
nothing in the dark tonight will do you harm
Sian, you are held so gently, safe within my arm

[Verse 2]
The crack beneath the door lets in a thread of gold
just enough to watch you sleeping, calm and whole
and every drifting speck seems drawn to where you rest
like the room itself has chosen you as best

[Bridge]
Sleep now, the dust will keep its slow and quiet turning
while somewhere deep inside your dreaming, small lights are burning

[Chorus]
Sian, the whole house leans in close to keep you warm
every creak and hush is here to guard your calm
nothing in the dark tonight will do you harm
Sian, you are held so gently, safe within my arm

[Outro]
Sleep on, and let the light keep drifting soft and slow
you are the only thing this house was built to know
