A Line of Gold Beneath the Door
Style: Humming choir

[Verse 1]
A line of gold is resting on the floorboard by your bed
Somewhere close a gentle hand is watching over your small head
Nothing in this house tonight would ever wish you harm
You are held as softly as a whispered word instead

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the quiet settle over everything you are
Every worry of the day is fading soft and far
Close your eyes, the dark is kind, it's carrying you on

[Chorus]
Sleep now, sleep now, Winifred, the night has come to stay
Nothing in the shadows here will ever lead you astray
Rest inside the calm that only bedtime brings
You are loved beyond the words that any song has said

[Verse 2]
Somewhere down the hallway low a lamp is glowing warm and slow
Its gentle light has found the crack beneath your open door
Feel it settle round you like a blanket freshly spread
You are safe as anything that's ever been this well bred

[Chorus]
Sleep now, sleep now, Winifred, the night has come to stay
Nothing in the shadows here will ever lead you astray
Rest inside the calm that only bedtime brings
You are loved beyond the words that any song has said

[Bridge]
Let the humming carry you where nothing needs to be
Drift a little further out on something soft and free

[Chorus]
Sleep now, sleep now, Winifred, the night has come to stay
Nothing in the shadows here will ever lead you astray
Rest inside the calm that only bedtime brings
You are loved beyond the words that any song has said

[Outro]
The gold beneath the door will keep on glowing while you rest
You are the warmest thing this quiet house has ever blessed
