The Runner Light
Style: Fingerpicked night

[Verse 1]
The hallway rug is glowing soft beneath the midnight light
and every shadow in this house is turning warm and slow
I know you're tired, love, and everything will be alright
so let your breathing settle now and let the day just go

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes, the house is holding steady all around you
nothing here will stir tonight, no reason to take flight
I'm right beside you now, however far your dreams may wander

[Chorus]
Vincent, sleep, and let the quiet wrap around you like a print
of every gentle thing this house has ever meant
you are the warmest hush inside this whole night's descent
Vincent, rest, you're loved beyond whatever you have hinted

[Verse 2]
The light along the floor is soft as breathing in the dark
and nothing in this house would ever wish you harm
you are the reason every corner holds a little spark
the safest thing I know is you asleep here, calm

[Chorus]
Vincent, sleep, and let the quiet wrap around you like a print
of every gentle thing this house has ever meant
you are the warmest hush inside this whole night's descent
Vincent, rest, you're loved beyond whatever you have hinted

[Bridge]
Whatever comes tomorrow, you are held here, safe and warm
nothing needs deciding now, no reason for alarm
just drift along the quiet like a boat without a storm

[Chorus]
Vincent, sleep, and let the quiet wrap around you like a print
of every gentle thing this house has ever meant
you are the warmest hush inside this whole night's descent
Vincent, rest, you're loved beyond whatever you have hinted

[Outro]
The rug still glows along the hallway floor as you lie dreaming
and you are loved as steady as that quiet light is gleaming
