A Yellow Beam for Amy
Style: Kalimba night

[Verse 1]
A yellow beam is sliding soft through the curtain of blue
Falling slow on the mattress like it only came for you
Nothing in the room is asking you to be anywhere else
You are held in a hush that only night ever knew

[Pre-chorus]
The light is moving slower now, it settles as it goes
Every breath you take is telling all your worry to close
So let the last of the evening pour in gold across your toes

[Chorus]
Amy, the dark is only a blanket pulled up to your chin
Somewhere a small light is finding its way back in
You are the warmest thing in this whole quiet house tonight
Amy, sleep now, let the soft beam settle where you've been

[Verse 2]
The fabric turns the light the colour of a calm blue sea
You are folded into evening as gently as can be
Nothing out there in the dark has any claim on you
You are exactly where the whole wide night wants you to be

[Chorus]
Amy, the dark is only a blanket pulled up to your chin
Somewhere a small light is finding its way back in
You are the warmest thing in this whole quiet house tonight
Amy, sleep now, let the soft beam settle where you've been

[Bridge]
Hush now, nothing is going anywhere, nothing will leave
Every soft thing in this room was only ever here for you

[Chorus]
Amy, the dark is only a blanket pulled up to your chin
Somewhere a small light is finding its way back in
You are the warmest thing in this whole quiet house tonight
Amy, sleep now, let the soft beam settle where you've been

[Outro]
The yellow beam has faded now to almost nothing at all
You are still the warmest thing this quiet house has known
