Turning Light
Style: Rocking chair waltz

[Verse 1]
A slow white light is turning above the old iron rail
Softly it circles while the whole dark house breathes low
Nothing can reach you past the shadows growing pale
You are the reason this small room glows so

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the night has nowhere else to be
The dark is only a blanket pulled up to your chin
Let the light keep turning while I hold the quiet close to me

[Chorus]
Celeste, the whole night leans in soft to keep you warm
Rest now, there is nothing here to fear
Every shadow bends away before you come to harm
Celeste, my only calm, my best is always here

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past the railing the stars are turning too
Slower than your breathing, softer than a sigh
You are held by everything that ever loved you
Wrapped in a hush that never says goodbye

[Bridge]
Let your small hands loosen, let the day go still
Nothing in the dark can take you from this warmth

[Chorus]
Celeste, the whole night leans in soft to keep you warm
Rest now, there is nothing here to fear
Every shadow bends away before you come to harm
Celeste, my only calm, my best is always here

[Outro]
The light still turns above the railing, slow and true
Sleep now, love. It will still be turning over you
