Slow Burning Light
Style: Rain and piano

[Verse 1]
A candle burns low in its heavy glass jar tonight
holding its little flame so steady and so bright
wax going soft and slow inside the quiet room
you are the warmth I gather to hold you right

[Pre-chorus]
Outside the rain is falling soft against the glass
every worry of the day has finally gone to pass
and here you rest while the hours drift so slow and near

[Chorus]
Anthony, the night is wide but you are held so close
the dark won't find you, not the part that matters most
sleep now, little one, beneath this calm and steady sky
Anthony, you're safer than you'll ever know

[Verse 2]
The flame burns down so slowly, never in a rush
filling up the corners with a golden hush
wax pooling soft and warm inside the sturdy jar
this is how I hold you, gentle, in no rush

[Bridge]
Whatever the dark is doing far beyond this room
it cannot touch the small and steady light we've grown
you are wrapped in something warmer than any flame could be

[Chorus]
Anthony, the night is wide but you are held so close
the dark won't find you, not the part that matters most
sleep now, little one, beneath this calm and steady sky
Anthony, you're safer than you'll ever know

[Outro]
The candle's burning low now, soft and slow and true
and I will keep the light on, watching over you
