The Wedge of Light
Style: Harp lullaby

[Verse 1]
A yellow wedge of light lies across the old wood floor
stretching soft and slow from the gap beneath the door
it comes to find you here where the shadows start to fold
and it never has to reach for you anymore

[Chorus]
Troy, the whole house breathes out slowly once you close your eyes
hush now, let the day and all its noise go by
nothing in the dark tonight was ever any ploy
just quiet holding still because it loves you, Troy

[Verse 2]
Somewhere down the hallway a small lamp is burning low
warming up the corners where the cool night air will go
you are wrapped in blankets softer than you'll ever know
and the whole wide house is settling nice and slow

[Pre-chorus]
Let your breathing find the rhythm of a heart that beats for you
let the last light through the doorway be the only thing you knew
close your eyes now, something gentle is about to carry you

[Chorus]
Troy, the whole house breathes out slowly once you close your eyes
hush now, let the day and all its noise go by
nothing in the dark tonight was ever any ploy
just quiet holding still because it loves you, Troy

[Bridge]
Every little sound out there is turning into calm
the whole night curls around you like a slow and steady arm

[Chorus]
Troy, the whole house breathes out slowly once you close your eyes
hush now, let the day and all its noise go by
nothing in the dark tonight was ever any ploy
just quiet holding still because it loves you, Troy

[Outro]
That wedge of light will still be waiting when the morning comes
sleep now, you are held, and warm, and wanted, little one
