Rings of Light
Style: Humming choir

[Verse 1]
A brass little lamp throws its rings up so slowly
warm circles that spread out and settle so lowly
this whole quiet room only glows to keep you near
nothing in the shadows tonight, love, has reason to fear

[Pre-chorus]
Watch how the light climbs so gentle above you
close up your eyes now, there's no rush to move to
the place where the ring meets the rest of the night

[Chorus]
Alfred, the light's turning soft over your bed
dreaming already before a word's said
sleep pulling gently the way the tide's led
Alfred, you're held here, you're warmed and you're fed

[Verse 2]
Somewhere the lamp hums a colour like honey
spilling in circles, unhurried and sunny
you don't need to chase it, it comes to your side
curling around you, an old faithful guide

[Chorus]
Alfred, the light's turning soft over your bed
dreaming already before a word's said
sleep pulling gently the way the tide's led
Alfred, you're held here, you're warmed and you're fed

[Bridge]
Nothing will move you from this ring of gold
only the hush of a story half told

[Chorus]
Alfred, the light's turning soft over your bed
dreaming already before a word's said
sleep pulling gently the way the tide's led
Alfred, you're held here, you're warmed and you're fed

[Outro]
The rings will still circle long after you're sleeping
kept safe in their glow while the night takes to keeping
