The Amber Line
Style: Folk cradle song

[Verse 1]
The hallway floor holds a thin line of amber and gold
a soft little glow that will keep till the morning unfolds
you're wrapped in the hush that the quiet house is keeping
and every small sound is just the world gently sleeping

[Pre-chorus]
So let your eyes close on the warmth of that light
let go of the day and its noise and its fight
stay close now, my love, while the dark turns to kind

[Chorus]
Carys, the whole house is holding its breath for you
Carys, the night has got nothing but softness for you
rest here where the amber light won't ever fade
you are the reason this quiet was made

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past the door the world keeps turning slow
but nothing in this room needs anywhere to go
you are held so near, so warm, so completely still
and nothing out there tonight can touch you or ever will

[Pre-chorus]
So let your eyes close on the warmth of that light
let go of the day and its noise and its fight
stay close now, my love, while the dark turns to kind

[Chorus]
Carys, the whole house is holding its breath for you
Carys, the night has got nothing but softness for you
rest here where the amber light won't ever fade
you are the reason this quiet was made

[Bridge]
Sleep now, and know you are so deeply loved
carried so gently by hands soft as doves
nothing can reach you while this light stays lit

[Chorus]
Carys, the whole house is holding its breath for you
Carys, the night has got nothing but softness for you
rest here where the amber light won't ever fade
you are the reason this quiet was made

[Outro]
That thin line of amber will still glow when you wake
hold onto the warmth it was made for your sake
