Steady Light
Style: Accordion cradle

[Verse 1]
A steady white beam moves so slowly across the wall tonight
Circling soft and low like it knows just where you are
Nothing out there needs you, nothing pulls you from the light
You are held here closer than the closest thing, closer than far

[Pre-chorus]
Let the hush come in and settle on your chest
Every worry folds down small and drifts to rest
Sleep is only love that's learned to hold you best

[Chorus]
Alexis, the dark is only midnight's gentle lens
Nothing in this room could ever hurt or vex us
Sleep now, let the quiet be your only recompense
Nothing in this whole wide world could touch Alexis

[Verse 2]
The night moves slow tonight, unhurried, warm and kind
Wrapping round your shoulders like a blanket made of hush
You don't have to hold a single worry in your mind
Just let the soft light carry you where dreams begin to rush

[Chorus]
Alexis, the dark is only midnight's gentle lens
Nothing in this room could ever hurt or vex us
Sleep now, let the quiet be your only recompense
Nothing in this whole wide world could touch Alexis

[Bridge]
You are the calm at the centre of this house
Breathing slow and steady while the whole world settles down

[Chorus]
Alexis, the dark is only midnight's gentle lens
Nothing in this room could ever hurt or vex us
Sleep now, let the quiet be your only recompense
Nothing in this whole wide world could touch Alexis

[Outro]
The light still sweeps so gently, watching over where you lie
Sleep on, you are the safest thing beneath this quiet sky
