Straw and Yellow Light
Style: Folk cradle song

[Verse 1]
Somewhere by the door a straw broom leans and waits for morning
Warmth is climbing quiet from the radiator's yellow glow
Nothing in this room has anywhere at all to hurry
Close your eyes now, let the soft light rock you slow

[Pre-chorus]
Every corner of this house has settled into stillness
Even shadows curl up gentle where the warm light lies
Rest is coming closer now, so let your breathing follow

[Chorus]
Diego, the dark is only kindness wrapped around you
Nothing here will wake you, nothing here will ask you to stay so
Sleep is just a warm room where the quiet loves to hold you
Diego, drift on gently, let the soft night carry you away so

[Verse 2]
Someone swept this floor with care before the light went low
Now the broom just rests against the wall and dreams of day
You are held the same way, safe against the warmth beside you
Nothing asks you for a single thing tonight but stay so

[Chorus]
Diego, the dark is only kindness wrapped around you
Nothing here will wake you, nothing here will ask you to stay so
Sleep is just a warm room where the quiet loves to hold you
Diego, drift on gently, let the soft night carry you away so

[Bridge]
Hush now, little breath, the whole house holds its glow for you
Warmth was always waiting here to gather you and stay

[Chorus]
Diego, the dark is only kindness wrapped around you
Nothing here will wake you, nothing here will ask you to stay so
Sleep is just a warm room where the quiet loves to hold you
Diego, drift on gently, let the soft night carry you away so

[Outro]
Somewhere still the broom leans warm against the fading glow
Sleep now, you are held here, safe as anything can be so
