Under the Yellow Lamp
Style: Ambient wash

[Verse 1]
Sleeves of soft wool are folded gently by your side tonight
Warm little cuffs are waiting where the lamp burns low and bright
You are the reason this small corner of the house stays warm
Nothing can reach you here, no shadow and no storm

[Pre-chorus]
Close up your eyes now, let the day go still and slow
Feel how the quiet settles soft as falling snow
Let every worry loosen and get ready now to sleep

[Chorus]
Cindy, the light is low and you are held so near
Nothing in this whole wide night could touch you here
Cindy, my hands are steady, you have nothing to fear
Sleep now, my Cindy, sleep now, love is near

[Verse 2]
Somewhere a clock is ticking soft beneath the falling dark
Wrapped in your blanket, you are carrying no mark
You are so loved that even silence learns to hum
Rest now, the whole wide night has come

[Bridge]
Breathe slow, let your small hands finally uncurl
Nothing tonight can trouble you, my girl
You are the warmest thing this quiet room has known

[Chorus]
Cindy, the light is low and you are held so near
Nothing in this whole wide night could touch you here
Cindy, my hands are steady, you have nothing to fear
Sleep now, my Cindy, sleep now, love is near

[Outro]
The wool stays folded soft beneath the fading light
Sleep now, you are safe and warm tonight
