  Verse 1

  A thin gold line slips under your door tonight Falling soft across the floor where you lie It waits there just to keep you close in its light Even while the rest of the house breathes a quiet sigh

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing in the dark can find its way to you The hallway hums low and the walls stand so still Hush now, let the hours turn slowly for you

  Chorus

  Carolyn, the light is watching over you Carolyn, it never wanders far Somewhere past the door I'm holding on to you Steady as the softest little star

  Verse 2

  The house grows heavy with its long, slow breath Every creak and hush is folding into one Nothing here will touch you, nothing here but rest Sleep is just the quiet cousin of the sun

  Chorus

  Carolyn, the light is watching over you Carolyn, it never wanders far Somewhere past the door I'm holding on to you Steady as the softest little star

  Bridge

  Let the gold line be the last thing that you see Let it carry you where all your dreaming goes I am near, however far that seems to be

  Chorus

  Carolyn, the light is watching over you Carolyn, it never wanders far Somewhere past the door I'm holding on to you Steady as the softest little star

  Outro

  The line of light will still be there when morning comes Holding you the whole night through, Carolyn

  Verse 1

  A short wax candle leans on the wooden sill tonight and the shadow it throws is soft, not something to fear the curtains breathe slow with the coming of the dark and you are held here, warm, inside the light

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing out there can find you now, love the whole wide night has gone this still for you so let your small hands finally rest

  Chorus

  Carolyn, the flame is low and the room is kind close your eyes, there is nowhere else you need to be sleep is only another way of being loved Carolyn, I'll stay till the morning finds you fine

  Verse 2

  The shadows stretch out long against the pale curtain taller than they are, softer than they seem but you were never meant to carry their weight just to watch them dance until your eyes grow certain

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing out there can find you now, love the whole wide night has gone this still for you so let your small hands finally rest

  Chorus

  Carolyn, the flame is low and the room is kind close your eyes, there is nowhere else you need to be sleep is only another way of being loved Carolyn, I'll stay till the morning finds you fine

  Bridge

  Even candles know when it's time to rest their light you don't have to keep watch, not tonight

  Chorus

  Carolyn, the flame is low and the room is kind close your eyes, there is nowhere else you need to be sleep is only another way of being loved Carolyn, I'll stay till the morning finds you fine

  Outro

  The last of the wax will burn down soft and slow and you will still be held, long after the light lets go

• Soft Static, Soft Sleep

  Verse 1

  The little radio hums low beside your bed tonight Its gentle static sounding almost like the sea Nothing in this room can ever come to trouble you You are the safest thing that's ever been to me

  Chorus

  Carolyn, the dark is only softness pulled in close Nobody will let the morning come too soon Every quiet crackle sings a promise meant for you Carolyn, you're held here safer than the moon

  Verse 2

  Somewhere past the window all the world has gone to hush Even restless hours are learning how to slow You don't have to listen, you can let your eyelids fall There is nowhere warmer that a child could go

  Pre-chorus

  Let the small light on the nightstand keep its steady glow Let your breathing find the rhythm of the sound Nothing has to hurry, nothing has to leave you now

  Chorus

  Carolyn, the dark is only softness pulled in close Nobody will let the morning come too soon Every quiet crackle sings a promise meant for you Carolyn, you're held here safer than the moon

  Bridge

  Hush now, nothing asks you to be anything but still You are loved in ways too deep to ever fade

  Chorus

  Carolyn, the dark is only softness pulled in close Nobody will let the morning come too soon Every quiet crackle sings a promise meant for you Carolyn, you're held here safer than the moon

  Outro

  The radio keeps humming soft and low beside your bed Sleep now, you are cradled till the light
