Slow the Light Down
Style: Glockenspiel

[Verse 1]
The candle leans and lets its warm wax fall so slow
Down into the saucer where it curls and comes to rest
Nothing in this room is asking you to hurry now
Only soft red light and you, held here and blessed

[Chorus]
Bodhi, close your eyes and let the evening in
Nothing out there needs you, not tonight, not yet
You are the warmest thing this quiet house has known
Bodhi, sleep is close, and it's the safest bet

[Verse 2]
Watch how the small flame settles into one soft glow
It does not reach or hurry, it just softly stays
You can rest the same way, easy in this light
Nothing asks you forward, there's no place to chase

[Pre-chorus]
The wax is nearly still now, barely moving at all
Your breathing slows to match it, gentle, deep and low
Let the last of the evening carry you along

[Chorus]
Bodhi, close your eyes and let the evening in
Nothing out there needs you, not tonight, not yet
You are the warmest thing this quiet house has known
Bodhi, sleep is close, and it's the safest bet

[Bridge]
Someone is glad you're here, more glad than words can hold
You don't have to know that, you just have to rest

[Chorus]
Bodhi, close your eyes and let the evening in
Nothing out there needs you, not tonight, not yet
You are the warmest thing this quiet house has known
Bodhi, sleep is close, and it's the safest bet

[Outro]
The candle will keep its small light burning low
Sleep now, you are held, and that is all you need to know
