Slippers by the Door
Style: Vibraphone drift

[Verse 1]
The slippers rest together on the rug beside the bed
waiting quiet for the morning, holding warmth the whole night through
and just like them, my darling, you are gently, softly led
into sleep that keeps you safe until the light comes new

[Chorus]
Will, the house is settling slow around you now
every corner soft with hush, every shadow still
sleep is calling gentle, Will, and you can trust it now
rest here safely with me, warm against the chill

[Verse 2]
The runner rug lies patterned underneath the fading light
holding little footprints from a day that's drifted by
tomorrow waits beyond the dark to fill you with delight
but now the stars are watching from the quiet sky

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes and let the evening carry all its weight
breathe it slow and feel the warmth that gathers where you lie
sleep is waiting near you now, it will not make you wait

[Chorus]
Will, the house is settling slow around you now
every corner soft with hush, every shadow still
sleep is calling gentle, Will, and you can trust it now
rest here safely with me, warm against the chill

[Bridge]
Nothing here will wander, nothing here will roam
every little corner of this room is your own home

[Chorus]
Will, the house is settling slow around you now
every corner soft with hush, every shadow still
sleep is calling gentle, Will, and you can trust it now
rest here safely with me, warm against the chill

[Outro]
The slippers wait together till the morning comes around
and you will sleep as safely, held and steady, without a sound
