The Lamp Turned Low
Style: Soft piano

[Verse 1]
The brass lamp turns low and spills its gentle crescent light
Across the floorboards where the shadows softly bend
There is nothing in this room tonight that means you harm or fright
Only quiet, only you, until the darkness ends

[Pre-chorus]
Let your busy little hands go still upon the sheet
Let the day and all its noise dissolve away like foam
Close your eyes now, you are held, and everything is sweet

[Chorus]
Anthony, the light is low and everything is well
Nothing in the shadows here, no need to be alone
Anthony, I'll stay right here as long as you can tell
This room, this glow, this quiet breath, will always be your home

[Verse 2]
The lampshade hums a colour warmer than a summer sky
And paints a slow half moon across the wooden floor
Whatever came before tonight, however hard you tried
You can rest now, you don't need to carry it anymore

[Pre-chorus]
Let your busy little hands go still upon the sheet
Let the day and all its noise dissolve away like foam
Close your eyes now, you are held, and everything is sweet

[Chorus]
Anthony, the light is low and everything is well
Nothing in the shadows here, no need to be alone
Anthony, I'll stay right here as long as you can tell
This room, this glow, this quiet breath, will always be your home

[Bridge]
Sleep now, further than the furthest tree, further than the sea
Nothing you could dream tonight would ever trouble me

[Chorus]
Anthony, the light is low and everything is well
Nothing in the shadows here, no need to be alone
Anthony, I'll stay right here as long as you can tell
This room, this glow, this quiet breath, will always be your home

[Outro]
The lamp will keep its low and steady crescent through the night
And you are loved past counting, past the reach of morning light
