Little Orange Light
Style: Soft piano

[Verse 1]
Dust turns slowly in the lamp beside your bed
gold flecks drifting where the quiet light is spread
soft as breathing, soft as everything I feel
you are held here, little one, you're safely led

[Pre-chorus]
Somewhere past the window all the stars have come out too
shadows settle soft around this room made just for you
and the light keeps burning low to see you through

[Chorus]
Clifford, close your eyes now, let the evening in
nothing here can hurt you, nothing to begin
you're the warmest thing this house has ever known
Clifford, sleep is coming, calm as breath and skin

[Verse 2]
Every speck of dust hangs like it's in no rush
held inside the orange glow, a gentle hush
you are just as steady, just as full of light
nothing in this room will ever make you blush

[Pre-chorus]
Somewhere past the window all the stars have come out too
shadows settle soft around this room made just for you
and the light keeps burning low to see you through

[Chorus]
Clifford, close your eyes now, let the evening in
nothing here can hurt you, nothing to begin
you're the warmest thing this house has ever known
Clifford, sleep is coming, calm as breath and skin

[Bridge]
Even when the lamp goes dark and dust falls still
you will carry all this quiet if you will
let it wrap around you like a slow warm tide

[Chorus]
Clifford, close your eyes now, let the evening in
nothing here can hurt you, nothing to begin
you're the warmest thing this house has ever known
Clifford, sleep is coming, calm as breath and skin

[Outro]
Dust will keep on drifting long after you're asleep
and this small light will hold you safe, and yours to keep
