A Beam of Yellow Light
Style: Gentle acoustic

[Verse 1]
A beam of yellow light lies soft against the ceiling
and the whole wide dark bends gently round its glow
you are wrapped in something warmer than the quiet
and I will stay right here and watch it, watching you grow slow

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the evening carry you
there is nothing in the shadows you should mind
the night is only holding what the daylight leaves behind

[Chorus]
Sleep now, Ben, the light will stay till morning
hush now, Ben, there's nothing you need fear
the dark can't touch the place where you are lying
Ben, my Ben, I'll always still be here

[Verse 2]
The beam moves slow across the ceiling while you're dreaming
tracing out a road that only you can see
you are safer than a house with all its doors locked tight
there is nowhere in this world you'd rather be

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the evening carry you
there is nothing in the shadows you should mind
the night is only holding what the daylight leaves behind

[Chorus]
Sleep now, Ben, the light will stay till morning
hush now, Ben, there's nothing you need fear
the dark can't touch the place where you are lying
Ben, my Ben, I'll always still be here

[Bridge]
Every breath you take is small and steady
and it settles every worry I have known

[Chorus]
Sleep now, Ben, the light will stay till morning
hush now, Ben, there's nothing you need fear
the dark can't touch the place where you are lying
Ben, my Ben, I'll always still be here

[Outro]
The beam will still be shining when the morning comes to find you
and I'll be right beside you when it does
