Tartan and Amber
Style: Ambient wash

[Verse 1]
The lamp burns low and gold across the old woollen rug
Every rough little thread is holding warmth just for you
Outside the window the dark is soft as a gentle hug
Nothing can reach you here, nothing untrue

[Pre-chorus]
The house breathes slow now, every corner settled and still
Your small hand rests where the amber light falls warm and slow
And sleep is coming gentle, waiting just past the windowsill

[Chorus]
Derek, the night is holding you soft and near
Nothing will wake you, nothing will roam
Derek, there is nothing at all to fear
This rug, this lamp, this quiet, is home

[Verse 2]
The wool is coarse but warm beneath your drifting little hand
Every fibre catches light the way your breathing finds its rhyme
Somewhere far off the wind moves slow across the sleeping land
Nothing will hurry you, we have all the time

[Chorus]
Derek, the night is holding you soft and near
Nothing will wake you, nothing will roam
Derek, there is nothing at all to fear
This rug, this lamp, this quiet, is home

[Bridge]
Close your eyes now, let the amber glow keep watch tonight
Sleep can carry you further than any road we know

[Chorus]
Derek, the night is holding you soft and near
Nothing will wake you, nothing will roam
Derek, there is nothing at all to fear
This rug, this lamp, this quiet, is home

[Outro]
The lamp will still be burning low when morning comes to find you
Wrapped in wool and amber light, and loved the whole night through
