Orange Light on the Buckle
Style: Rocking chair waltz

[Verse 1]
Outside the window the streetlights swing their soft orange glow
Sliding across the wool blanket folded over you so slow
You do not need to know how far these small lights go
All you need is this rocking, easy and low

[Chorus]
Camila, hush now, the whole night bends toward you
Every lamp on the street was only lit to guard you
Sleep and let the dark be kind, Camila
Nothing out there is stronger than how much I adore you

[Verse 2]
The buckle on the blanket catches a little amber shine
Folded snug around your shoulders, keeping out the cold outside
You are the warmest thing this whole quiet street will find
Small and steady, curled up safe, my joy and pride

[Pre-chorus]
Let your breathing slow down now, soft as falling snow
Nothing in this room will ever let you go
Close your eyes, I have you, and here we go

[Chorus]
Camila, hush now, the whole night bends toward you
Every lamp on the street was only lit to guard you
Sleep and let the dark be kind, Camila
Nothing out there is stronger than how much I adore you

[Bridge]
Rock a little slower, the hour has grown late
Nothing in the dark outside is yours to wait for or await

[Chorus]
Camila, hush now, the whole night bends toward you
Every lamp on the street was only lit to guard you
Sleep and let the dark be kind, Camila
Nothing out there is stronger than how much I adore you

[Outro]
The orange light still slides along the blanket where you lay
Sleep now, little one, I am not going anywhere away
