Far Light, Close Heart
Style: Celesta and strings

[Verse 1]
Far across the water a slow light turns and glows
Sweeping out so gently, then fading soft and low
You are wrapped up warmer than any night that blows
Safe here in the hush where the quiet rivers flow

[Pre-chorus]
That far beam keeps turning, so patient and so slow
Watching over sailors who wander far from home
But nothing out there loves you the way I love you so

[Chorus]
Ciara, hush now, the whole wide world can wait
Sleep is a soft harbour and you're already safe
Nothing can reach you, not tonight, not ever late
Ciara, you are held here, no need to be afraid

[Verse 2]
The lighthouse never wavers though the waves rise and fall
Somewhere past the window it is watching over all
But you don't need a beacon to feel steady and small
You have arms around you, softer than any wall

[Chorus]
Ciara, hush now, the whole wide world can wait
Sleep is a soft harbour and you're already safe
Nothing can reach you, not tonight, not ever late
Ciara, you are held here, no need to be afraid

[Bridge]
Let the dark be gentle, let your breathing slow
Every turning moment brings you closer to the glow
Sleep and I will keep it, that quiet steady light

[Chorus]
Ciara, hush now, the whole wide world can wait
Sleep is a soft harbour and you're already safe
Nothing can reach you, not tonight, not ever late
Ciara, you are held here, no need to be afraid

[Outro]
Somewhere far off still that slow light keeps its turning
But closer than that, love, my heart keeps watch till morning
