Steady Little Flame
Style: Cello cradle

[Verse 1]
The candle leans and pools its wax onto the saucer below
Soft as the hush that settles when the whole house breathes out slow
Watch how the little flame keeps steady, never wants to go
You are the warmth that makes the whole room glow

[Chorus]
Cecilia, close your eyes now, let the quiet carry you
Nothing in the dark tonight will come and trouble you
Cecilia, you are held here, safer than you ever knew
Sleep now, sleep now, love is watching over you

[Verse 2]
The flame bends gentle in the draught but never once goes out
Just like the love around you, always here without a doubt
Somewhere past the window night is folding all about
Rest now, there is nothing left to worry over, no need for doubt

[Pre-chorus]
The wax runs slow and settles, and the shadows start to sway
Everything is quiet now, the whole wide world's at bay
Hold on to how it feels to be so loved and drift away

[Chorus]
Cecilia, close your eyes now, let the quiet carry you
Nothing in the dark tonight will come and trouble you
Cecilia, you are held here, safer than you ever knew
Sleep now, sleep now, love is watching over you

[Bridge]
Small one, let your breathing find the rhythm of the light
However far you drift tonight, you're held here, held tight

[Chorus]
Cecilia, close your eyes now, let the quiet carry you
Nothing in the dark tonight will come and trouble you
Cecilia, you are held here, safer than you ever knew
Sleep now, sleep now, love is watching over you

[Outro]
The little flame breathes softer now, down to a golden ember
Sleep, and know this warmth is here, tonight and every night to remember
