Yellow Light on Wet Asphalt
Style: Clarinet nightlight

[Verse 1]
Yellow light was bouncing soft on the rain streaked glass tonight
Rocking gently as the bus rolled home beneath the streetlamp light
Everything outside was blurred and hushed and turning slow
And you were curled up warm against me, holding on so tight

[Pre-chorus]
The wipers hummed a little tune to carry you to rest
Every worry of the day was folded soft into your chest
Close your eyes now, let the quiet come and take the rest

[Chorus]
Brody, the night is wrapping gently all around your bed
Nothing out there in the dark can touch you, love instead
Safe as the light that glows through raindrops falling free
Brody, sleep now, every corner of the world is calm and led

[Verse 2]
Somewhere a window carries colours melting soft and slow
The whole wide city hums a lullaby you'll never know
You are the warmest thing that's moving through this quiet street
Wrapped up tighter than the blankets that the darkness seems to sew

[Bridge]
Let the hush of evening settle where you softly lie
Nothing needs an answer, nothing needs a reason why

[Chorus]
Brody, the night is wrapping gently all around your bed
Nothing out there in the dark can touch you, love instead
Safe as the light that glows through raindrops falling free
Brody, sleep now, every corner of the world is calm and led

[Outro]
The light has faded soft to gold behind the rainy glass
Sleep now, love, the whole night through, so peacefully will pass
