Little Duck Light
Style: Clarinet nightlight

[Verse 1]
The water's gone soft and the bubbles are low now
Little ducks drifting wherever they choose
Under the bulb where the shadows grow slow now
You are the warmest thing in the room, Cruz

[Pre-chorus]
Let the last of the light start to fade from the ceiling
Let your breathing grow heavy, let go of the day
There is nothing to hold onto, nothing worth keeping

[Chorus]
Cruz, the whole house is humming you homeward
Soft as a duck settling down in its cruise
Nobody needs you to hurry or answer
Sleep now, my Cruz, there is nothing to lose

[Verse 2]
The night wraps around like a towel pulled gentle
Warm from the day, holding all of the news
Nothing tonight could be sharp or eventful
Just you, going quiet, just you, and your Cruz

[Bridge]
Somewhere a duck is still turning in circles
Slow in the water where the last light pools
You are already halfway to dreaming

[Chorus]
Cruz, the whole house is humming you homeward
Soft as a duck settling down in its cruise
Nobody needs you to hurry or answer
Sleep now, my Cruz, there is nothing to lose

[Outro]
The water has stilled and the ducks have stopped turning
Sleep now, little Cruz, there is nowhere to be
