The Little Light Above the Stairs
Style: Gentle acoustic

[Verse 1]
There's a small yellow bulb still glowing above the stairs tonight
Falling soft on the old wallpaper, worn thin and kind
It has watched every step you have taken up to here
And it waits there for you now, so easy in your mind

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes, let the whole house settle low and slow
Every creak on the landing is only the day breathing out
There is nothing that can reach you, only quiet left to grow

[Chorus]
Bruce, you are held here, safe as the last light on the stair
Nothing can touch you, nothing can pull you from this warmth
Rest now, Bruce, there is nowhere else you need to be
You are the reason this whole house is wrapped in calm

[Verse 2]
Somewhere a door is easing shut on all the noise of the day
Somewhere the wind outside is turning gentle in the dark
You are wrapped up warmer than anything the night could bring
And you are carried, always, further than you'd ever have to ask

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes, let the whole house settle low and slow
Every creak on the landing is only the day breathing out
There is nothing that can reach you, only quiet left to grow

[Chorus]
Bruce, you are held here, safe as the last light on the stair
Nothing can touch you, nothing can pull you from this warmth
Rest now, Bruce, there is nowhere else you need to be
You are the reason this whole house is wrapped in calm

[Bridge]
Sleep now, and let the whole world grow small and still
There is a light left burning just for you, and always will

[Chorus]
Bruce, you are held here, safe as the last light on the stair
Nothing can touch you, nothing can pull you from this warmth
Rest now, Bruce, there is nowhere else you need to be
You are the reason this whole house is wrapped in calm

[Outro]
The little light above the stairs will burn on through the night
And you will still be loved here, long after it fades from sight
