Under a Palm on Bare Plaster
Style: Ambient wash

[Verse 1]
A quiet hand finds the switch upon the wall
And the yellow light folds soft and lets it go
The whole wide room breathes out and settles small
This is how the darkness learns to hold you slow

[Pre-chorus]
The plaster cools beneath the fading glow
Every sound tonight has somewhere warm to land
So let the hush come closer than you know

[Chorus]
Beau, the night has only gentle things to show
Every star above was lit to watch you grow
Close your eyes and feel the calm begin to flow
There is nowhere safer, Beau, than here below

[Verse 2]
Your breathing slows to match the settling house
Somewhere far a door forgets to make a sound
You are held here softer than a sleepy vow
Wrapped in all the quiet that the dark has found

[Bridge]
Nothing needs to happen now but rest
No one needs you anywhere but here
You are already so completely blessed
Sleep will carry you and hold you near

[Chorus]
Beau, the night has only gentle things to show
Every star above was lit to watch you grow
Close your eyes and feel the calm begin to flow
There is nowhere safer, Beau, than here below

[Outro]
Somewhere a palm still rests against the wall
And the whole dark room keeps holding what it knows
