Gold Under the Door
Style: Gentle acoustic

[Verse 1]
A thread of gold slips under the door tonight
and lays itself so softly across the floor
it creeps along the carpet, quiet and bright
the way it always finds you, and always more

[Pre-chorus]
Somewhere past the hallway a lamp still glows for you
watching every shadow so none of them come near
stay inside the warmth that keeps returning to you

[Chorus]
Titus, the light is spilling soft and low
home in every corner, nothing here to fright us
close your eyes, my darling, let the night be slow
nothing in this house could ever spite us, Titus

[Verse 2]
The floorboards hum a tune too old to name
something that was hummed before you learned to speak
it travels through the walls the way love came
gentle as a hand laid soft against your cheek

[Chorus]
Titus, the light is spilling soft and low
home in every corner, nothing here to fright us
close your eyes, my darling, let the night be slow
nothing in this house could ever spite us, Titus

[Bridge]
Every door in this house leans a little toward you
every quiet room keeps your small breathing near
nothing waits outside these walls to unite us
except the morning light, and that has no fear

[Chorus]
Titus, the light is spilling soft and low
home in every corner, nothing here to fright us
close your eyes, my darling, let the night be slow
nothing in this house could ever spite us, Titus

[Outro]
The gold will still be waiting under the door at dawn
and I'll be here beside you long before it's gone
