Lights on the Ceiling
Style: Folk cradle song

[Verse 1]
Little lights are drifting slow across the ceiling now
Slipping past the blinds like they've got somewhere warm to be
Nothing in this room can touch you, I don't know how
But you are held so gently here, just breathe with me

[Pre-chorus]
The house is settling into its quietest hour
Every worry of the day has gone to rest
So let your small hand loosen, let your eyes grow softer

[Chorus]
Ayesha, the dark is only kindness in disguise
Nothing here will ever come to trouble you or harm you
Close your lovely, tired, wondering eyes
There's no place that I would rather be than near you, Ayesha

[Verse 2]
The lights keep moving gently, never in a hurry
Tracing paths across the ceiling, soft and slow
You don't need to chase a single thing or worry
Everything you need is already here, you know

[Chorus]
Ayesha, the dark is only kindness in disguise
Nothing here will ever come to trouble you or harm you
Close your lovely, tired, wondering eyes
There's no place that I would rather be than near you, Ayesha

[Bridge]
Sleep can be a soft place, not a far one
You are not alone in any hour of the night
I will be the quiet you are drifting into

[Chorus]
Ayesha, the dark is only kindness in disguise
Nothing here will ever come to trouble you or harm you
Close your lovely, tired, wondering eyes
There's no place that I would rather be than near you, Ayesha

[Outro]
The little lights keep moving, soft as breathing, on the ceiling
And you are already halfway into dreaming
