The Yellow Stripe
Style: Flute and pad

[Verse 1]
The door is left ajar so the hallway light can reach you
A soft yellow stripe laid slowly across the floor
It slides all the way over to where you're resting
Just to let you know that you are loved and so much more

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the evening settle round you
Every breath is carrying you further from the day
There's nothing left to hold but this quiet drifting

[Chorus]
Cyril, the whole wide house is holding still for you
Nothing here will stir until the morning comes
Cyril, you are wrapped in every gentle thing I know
Safe beneath the hush of all this quiet love

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past the door the world keeps turning slowly
But none of it can find its way in here tonight
You are folded into warmth that no one can unravel
Held so close and kept so safe until the light

[Bridge]
Let the stripe of light grow thin and fade to nothing
There is nothing you must carry, nothing you must keep

[Chorus]
Cyril, the whole wide house is holding still for you
Nothing here will stir until the morning comes
Cyril, you are wrapped in every gentle thing I know
Safe beneath the hush of all this quiet love

[Outro]
The door stays open just a little, just for you
And the stripe of light will still be there when morning comes
