Circle Round to Sleep
Style: Folk cradle song

[Verse 1]
A small moth turns around the light above the wooden stair
Content to keep on circling, with nowhere else to be
And I could watch till morning how you settle in my arm
Because you are the quiet thing that keeps this whole house warm

[Pre-chorus]
The hush is coming closer now and pulling down the dark
The house breathes slow around us like a soft and sleepy heart
So let your eyes grow heavy, love, there's nothing you must hold

[Chorus]
Ayaan, Ayaan, the night is soft and kind
Nothing in the shadows means to trouble your small mind
Every star tonight, Ayaan, was lit to watch you sleep
You are the one thing in this world I mean to always keep

[Verse 2]
The bulb hums low above the stair, a tired golden eye
And still that moth keeps circling like it never wants to fly
But you don't need to wander, love, you're already found
You are the warmest, safest thing that I have ever known

[Bridge]
Rest your head, the day is done, there's no more ground to cover
Sleep will carry what I can't, and I will be your cover

[Chorus]
Ayaan, Ayaan, the night is soft and kind
Nothing in the shadows means to trouble your small mind
Every star tonight, Ayaan, was lit to watch you sleep
You are the one thing in this world I mean to always keep

[Outro]
Somewhere on the stair that light is dimming low and slow
And you are already drifting where I always want you to go
