The Light Comes Round
Style: Glockenspiel

[Verse 1]
Far away a lighthouse turns its slow and gentle beam
Sweeping soft across the dark like something out of a dream
You are watching how it passes, calm and white and slow
Wrapped in blankets, warm and quiet, nowhere left to go

[Pre-chorus]
Every corner of this room is soft and safe tonight
Nothing here can reach you, held so close and held so right
Close your eyes and let it carry you to something bright

[Chorus]
Atlas, sleep, and let the whole night pass
Rest so easy, little one, at last
I am here, and here is where you stay
Atlas, dream, till morning finds its way

[Verse 2]
That beam of light will circle round and find this wall again
Steady as a heartbeat, always gentle, never plain
You do not need to watch it, you can let your eyelids fall
Someone here is holding you through all of it, through all

[Pre-chorus]
Every corner of this room is soft and safe tonight
Nothing here can reach you, held so close and held so right
Close your eyes and let it carry you to something bright

[Chorus]
Atlas, sleep, and let the whole night pass
Rest so easy, little one, at last
I am here, and here is where you stay
Atlas, dream, till morning finds its way

[Bridge]
Somewhere far off, someone keeps a light for sailors lost at sea
But nothing out there shines as steady as the love in me
You are not adrift, you never will be, never far from shore

[Chorus]
Atlas, sleep, and let the whole night pass
Rest so easy, little one, at last
I am here, and here is where you stay
Atlas, dream, till morning finds its way

[Outro]
Somewhere still that beam goes sweeping gently over sleeping walls
And you are held here safe and warm, whatever falls
