Yellow Light
Style: Music box

[Verse 1]
A little yellow light comes creeping soft across the room tonight
It settles on the blue cotton folded gently over you
The hoops above you hold the blanket like a tiny sky
And everything is quiet, everything is warm and true

[Chorus]
Sleep now, Alfred, the light is low and kind
Nothing in the shadows, nothing left to find
Alfred, close your eyes and let the hours go
You are held so gently, safer than you know

[Verse 2]
The whole wide house grows still around this one small glowing space
Outside the wind is humming soft, a tune too low to hear
Nothing needs to happen now, there's nowhere left to be
Just this warm and steady breathing telling you that I am near

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the night has nothing sharp to bring you
Every corner of this room is soft and slow
Close your eyes, my love, and let the quiet grow

[Chorus]
Sleep now, Alfred, the light is low and kind
Nothing in the shadows, nothing left to find
Alfred, close your eyes and let the hours go
You are held so gently, safer than you know

[Bridge]
You are the warmest thing this whole house knows
Long after the yellow light has dimmed and gone to rest

[Chorus]
Sleep now, Alfred, the light is low and kind
Nothing in the shadows, nothing left to find
Alfred, close your eyes and let the hours go
You are held so gently, safer than you know

[Outro]
The yellow light will still be there when morning comes to find you
Sleep now, little one, you are loved beyond all measure
