Headlights on the Ceiling
Style: Rain and piano

[Verse 1]
A yellow ticket rests on the wooden rail tonight
headlights sweep the ceiling in a slow and gentle light
the house breathes soft around you, every corner kind
and nothing in the darkness means to trouble your mind

[Pre-chorus]
The rain is coming down in such a quiet, steady way
it hums along the window like it wants to stay
so let it carry you where all the soft things lead

[Chorus]
Archibald, the night has come to hold you close and still
Archibald, you're safer than the moon behind the hill
nothing here will call you, nothing here will scald
you are so completely, warmly, wholly loved, Archibald

[Verse 2]
Somewhere down the road a car is turning out of sight
leaving just a memory of amber on the white
but you are here beside me, wrapped in something true
and every quiet minute now belongs to you

[Chorus]
Archibald, the night has come to hold you close and still
Archibald, you're safer than the moon behind the hill
nothing here will call you, nothing here will scald
you are so completely, warmly, wholly loved, Archibald

[Bridge]
Sleep now, let the piano find the corners of the room
let the rain keep counting hours through the gentle gloom
you are held by more than blankets, more than walls

[Chorus]
Archibald, the night has come to hold you close and still
Archibald, you're safer than the moon behind the hill
nothing here will call you, nothing here will scald
you are so completely, warmly, wholly loved, Archibald

[Outro]
The ticket stays there quiet on the wooden rail till dawn
and you will still be loved this way when morning comes along
