West Room Light

Verse 1

Light slips on the polished floor, gold against the grain

Windows framing moments as the evening starts again

Chair beside the window, hat upon the stand

Hear the distant laughter drifting through the land

Chorus

Golden rays come sweeping through my west-facing room

Filling up the corners, chasing out the gloom

Shadows growing gentle, turning soft and blue

Let the fading sunlight paint a dream or two

Post-Chorus

Oh, let it linger, oh, let it stay

Oh, in my west-facing room, I while away

Verse 2

Curtains flutter easy in the sweet perfume

Summer drifting in on a lazy afternoon

Pictures on the mantle catching amber fire

I watch another evening climbing ever higher

Pre-Chorus

Every wall remembers laughter, stories left behind

In the hush of evening, peace is what I find

Chorus

Golden rays come sweeping through my west-facing room

Filling up the corners, chasing out the gloom

Shadows growing gentle, turning soft and blue

Let the fading sunlight paint a dream or two

Post-Chorus

Oh, let it linger, oh, let it stay

Oh, in my west-facing room, I while

Oh, in my west-facing room, I while

Bridge

Clock upon the table ticking soft and slow

Cushion takes my silhouette as sunlight starts to go

Promise of tomorrow folded in the shade

Quiet hour lingers just before it fades

Chorus

Golden rays come sweeping through my west-facing room

Filling up the corners, chasing out the gloom

Shadows growing gentle, turning soft and blue

Let the fading sunlight paint a dream or two

Post-Chorus

Oh, let it linger, oh let it stay

Oh, night drifting in, here I’ll remain

Outro

Cool breeze through the shutters brings a velvet tune

Lanterns start to flicker in my west-facing room

Quiet conversation hums beneath the moon

Softest notes of evening promise morning soon

Tag

Oh, west-facing room, gentle and true

Oh, memories glowing when day

Coda

Windows open wider as the starlight pours

Footsteps on the hallway echo by the doors

Old familiar comfort, shadows settle in

Night unfolds its secrets where the dreams begin

Tag Reprise

Oh, west-facing room, safe through the night

Oh, halos of memories in gentle twilight
