A Thin Gold Thread
Style: Rain and piano

[Verse 1]
A thin yellow beam is sweeping over the cracks in the plaster
Sliding so slowly it barely seems to move at all
Nothing out there can find its way past this door
And you are held here safer than anything could master

[Pre-chorus]
The light keeps circling soft above your head like it knows you
Every shadow in this room is settling down to bow low
So close your eyes now, let the quiet come and hold you

[Chorus]
Steve, the whole dark house is breathing slow around you
Nothing in this night has ever come to wound you
Rain is counting time upon the glass to soothe you
Steve, there is nowhere safer than the arms that found you

[Verse 2]
The beam has slipped along the wall to warm another corner
Tracing all the little lines like roads that lead you home
You do not need to follow where it's gone
There is nothing you should chase, nowhere you should wander

[Chorus]
Steve, the whole dark house is breathing slow around you
Nothing in this night has ever come to wound you
Rain is counting time upon the glass to soothe you
Steve, there is nowhere safer than the arms that found you

[Bridge]
Let the rain keep falling soft on every sill and ledge
Let it hush you further down than any thought or worry
Nothing waits beyond this room to pull you from the edge

[Chorus]
Steve, the whole dark house is breathing slow around you
Nothing in this night has ever come to wound you
Rain is counting time upon the glass to soothe you
Steve, there is nowhere safer than the arms that found you

[Outro]
The light has settled now, a thin gold thread across the plaster
Sleep now, you are held, and nothing here can ever harm you
