Yellow Light, Little One
Style: Cello cradle

[Verse 1]
Yellow light is spilling soft across the old worn floor tonight
Under the fringe of wool your breathing settles slow and light
The whole house leans in close to keep you warm and near
You are held here safe until the morning brings its light

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the day and all its noise drift far away
Nothing in this room will ever ask you more to say
Just close your eyes, my love, and let me hum you home

[Chorus]
Carol, Carol, sleep is calling soft and low
Nothing in the dark can touch you, this you know
You are loved beyond the reach of any harm or peril
Carol, rest, the light will keep you well till morrow

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past the window all the stars are settling in to wait
The wool around you holds the warmth the whole night through till late
Every breath you take is small and steady as a drum
You are the softest thing that ever came to make this home

[Bridge]
Sleep is just a boat that carries you so gently out to sea
There is nothing waiting there but calm and quiet company

[Chorus]
Carol, Carol, sleep is calling soft and low
Nothing in the dark can touch you, this you know
You are loved beyond the reach of any harm or peril
Carol, rest, the light will keep you well till morrow

[Outro]
The yellow light will still be here to greet you when you wake
Sleep now, Carol, safe and warm, for love is wide awake
