Amber Light
Style: Gentle acoustic

[Verse 1]
A thin gold thread slips through the door left ajar for you
Small pieces of light are drifting soft and slow above your head
I watch them turning, catching every breath that you breathe through
And know there's nowhere safer in the world than this small bed

[Pre-chorus]
The house has gone quiet, every corner settling down
Nothing can reach you while I'm sitting here so near
So let your eyes grow heavy, let the hush wrap all around

[Chorus]
Eira, the light is low and gentle just for you
Close your eyes now, Eira, morning waits its turn
Nothing in this whole wide world could ever see you through
Like the warmth that holds you, Eira, while the small light burns

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past the doorway the ordinary world rolls on
But nothing out there matters more than this hush we share
I'll stay until the last of all that amber glow is gone
And when you drift off smiling I'll still be right there

[Chorus]
Eira, the light is low and gentle just for you
Close your eyes now, Eira, morning waits its turn
Nothing in this whole wide world could ever see you through
Like the warmth that holds you, Eira, while the small light burns

[Bridge]
Dust turns slow in the sliver of gold, and so do my thoughts of you
Every quiet breath you take is a small and steady kind of true

[Chorus]
Eira, the light is low and gentle just for you
Close your eyes now, Eira, morning waits its turn
Nothing in this whole wide world could ever see you through
Like the warmth that holds you, Eira, while the small light burns

[Outro]
The door stays open just a little, the gold still soft and thin
Sleep now, love, however far you dream, I'm keeping watch within
