Small Warm Light
Style: Rocking chair waltz

[Verse 1]
A small flame bends but never breaks its steady, patient glow
The wax runs slow around the thread, in no hurry to let go
That is how this love was always meant to move
You are held the way that warm light holds a room

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the day dissolve like breath on glass
The dark outside can't reach you here, so let it drift and pass
Every hush is building to the words I need you to know

[Chorus]
Constance, sleep now, you were never left to chance
Something steady chose to stay and hold its quiet stance
Every flicker of this house leans warm around your rest
Constance, you're the light this whole night wants to protect

[Verse 2]
The saucer holds the melting wax the way my arms hold you
Nothing spills, nothing is lost, it only settles into new
Soft and slow, the shape it finds is always kind
You are safe inside the shape this small light leaves behind

[Chorus]
Constance, sleep now, you were never left to chance
Something steady chose to stay and hold its quiet stance
Every flicker of this house leans warm around your rest
Constance, you're the light this whole night wants to protect

[Bridge]
Let the small flame breathe for you while your own breath slows
No sound but the rocking chair, no reason left to fight the doze
Whatever the day asked of you, it can wait outside till morning

[Chorus]
Constance, sleep now, you were never left to chance
Something steady chose to stay and hold its quiet stance
Every flicker of this house leans warm around your rest
Constance, you're the light this whole night wants to protect

[Outro]
The flame breathes low now, easy, sure it will not be forgotten
Sleep, small light, the wax has pooled and settled into morning
