Yellow Light
Style: Fingerpicked night

[Verse 1]
Yellow light is pooling soft where the little buttons gleam
Brass and gold are holding still inside this quiet, drowsy beam
Nothing here can reach you now, nothing sharp or loud
You are wrapped in warmth as deep as any river's dream

[Chorus]
Sleep now, sweet Alina, let the whole wide world go dim
Close your eyes, Alina, drift on out to sleep's edge and swim
Nothing waits to trouble you when morning comes again
You are safe as anything, held soft within

[Verse 2]
Every little button holds a small and steady spark
Watching over you tonight, keeping back the dark
Breathe it slow, my darling, let your shoulders finally rest
You have carried far enough, you can lay down your heart

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the lamp burn low and gentle where you lie
Let the hours soften round you like a long, unhurried sigh
Somewhere warm is waiting just to hold you as you fly

[Chorus]
Sleep now, sweet Alina, let the whole wide world go dim
Close your eyes, Alina, drift on out to sleep's edge and swim
Nothing waits to trouble you when morning comes again
You are safe as anything, held soft within

[Bridge]
You are loved beyond the reach of any counting or of time
Held inside a quiet only you and stillness understand

[Chorus]
Sleep now, sweet Alina, let the whole wide world go dim
Close your eyes, Alina, drift on out to sleep's edge and swim
Nothing waits to trouble you when morning comes again
You are safe as anything, held soft within

[Outro]
Yellow light will still be burning soft when you wake up again
You are held here, always, past the edges of the lamp
