A Circle of Light
Style: Rain and piano

[Verse 1]
Green glass throws a circle of gold across your quiet floor
and every little shadow has gone soft and still once more
stacked up beside your pillow, the day's small stories wait
you're wrapped in this warm hush that we've been drifting toward

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the hours grow slow and easy round you
let the lamp burn low while the rain keeps time outside
close your eyes, my darling, there's nothing left to find but

[Chorus]
Eileen, the light is holding you like something evergreen
sleep is a soft field and you're the calmest thing I've seen
between the dark and morning there's a hush that's clean
rest here, Eileen, rest here, Eileen

[Verse 2]
Pages settle quiet now, their stories tucked away till dawn
rain taps soft against the glass, a rhythm steady and drawn out
you breathe in time with it, small and safe and warm
nothing in this room tonight will ask you to be strong

[Bridge]
Let go of the day, it's already turning gold and small
somewhere far the world keeps on, but here it doesn't call at all

[Chorus]
Eileen, the light is holding you like something evergreen
sleep is a soft field and you're the calmest thing I've seen
between the dark and morning there's a hush that's clean
rest here, Eileen, rest here, Eileen

[Outro]
The lamp will keep its gold glow burning low till you wake
sleep on, Eileen, there's nothing this soft night could ever take
