The Yellow Light on the Ceiling
Style: Rain and piano

[Verse 1]
A steady yellow flash goes sweeping soft across the ceiling
it slips along so slowly like it's carrying a feeling
and every time it passes it leaves the dark room stiller
you watch it come and settle while your breathing starts revealing

[Pre-chorus]
The house is quiet now and every worry's laid down gently
nothing in this room can touch you, nothing reach you plainly
so let your eyes grow heavy while the light comes round again

[Chorus]
Curtis, close your eyes now, let the soft light hold you steady
nothing in the dark tonight was ever meant to hurt us
sleep is only closer than you think it is already
Curtis, you are certain, you are safe here, you are ready

[Verse 2]
The light moves like a hand that's brushing gently through the shadows
it never rushes forward, never hurries where it goes
and neither should you, resting while the whole wide house grows quieter
you're wrapped in every softness that the night around you knows

[Chorus]
Curtis, close your eyes now, let the soft light hold you steady
nothing in the dark tonight was ever meant to hurt us
sleep is only closer than you think it is already
Curtis, you are certain, you are safe here, you are ready

[Bridge]
Rain is falling soft against the window while the piano hums along
and somewhere underneath it all you're held, you're wanted, you belong

[Chorus]
Curtis, close your eyes now, let the soft light hold you steady
nothing in the dark tonight was ever meant to hurt us
sleep is only closer than you think it is already
Curtis, you are certain, you are safe here, you are ready

[Outro]
The yellow light still sweeps but softer now across the ceiling
you're drifting into sleep, held safe by every gentle feeling
