Light on the Ceiling
Style: Rocking chair waltz

[Verse 1]
Headlights are sliding soft across the ceiling above you
Far away a train is humming low and slow
Nothing in this room will ever come to move you
You are held here safely, wrapped in evening's glow

[Pre-chorus]
The house breathes quiet now, the world has gone to rest
Every little sound out there is far and small
Close your eyes and let the dark feel like a blessing

[Chorus]
Sleep now, Bodhi, in the hush the night is keeping
Nothing out there needs to trouble you tonight
You are so loved while the whole wide world is sleeping
Bodhi, drift along and let go of the light

[Verse 2]
Somewhere down the tracks the train pulls further homeward
Leaving just a glow that settles on the wall
You don't have to chase the distance or the going
All you have to do is rest and let it fall

[Bridge]
Every beam that crosses over you is gentle
Every shadow here is soft and means no harm
You are wrapped in something warmer than a blanket

[Chorus]
Sleep now, Bodhi, in the hush the night is keeping
Nothing out there needs to trouble you tonight
You are so loved while the whole wide world is sleeping
Bodhi, drift along and let go of the light

[Outro]
The last light passes gently and the ceiling settles quiet
You are held here always, long after it has gone
