Empty Seat, Full Heart
Style: Cello cradle

[Verse 1]
Yellow light comes drifting slow across the empty seat tonight
and nobody sits there waiting, but you are held so tight
straps of plastic swaying gently in a hush of amber glow
home is where you're going, wrapped in warmth despite the night

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the streetlights blur to gold
rest your head where all this quiet can be told
sleep is coming soft to carry you

[Chorus]
Daniel, the night is holding you so near
every little worry fades away from here
you are the warmest thing in all this dark
sleep now, Daniel, there is nothing you should fear

[Verse 2]
Windows fog with breath and evening settles soft and slow
shadows stretch out gentle where the empty corners glow
nothing waits to frighten you, no reason to be scared
only you, my dear one, wrapped in all this quiet flow

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the streetlights blur to gold
rest your head where all this quiet can be told
sleep is coming soft to carry you

[Chorus]
Daniel, the night is holding you so near
every little worry fades away from here
you are the warmest thing in all this dark
sleep now, Daniel, there is nothing you should fear

[Bridge]
Somewhere out there streetlights keep on turning gold to grey
but here you're safe and nothing takes that peace away

[Chorus]
Daniel, the night is holding you so near
every little worry fades away from here
you are the warmest thing in all this dark
sleep now, Daniel, there is nothing you should fear

[Outro]
Let the empty seat sit quiet, let the light keep drifting on
you are held here, always held here, till the morning comes along
