Little Flame
Style: Vibraphone drift

[Verse 1]
A small light burns on the desk while shadows learn to be still
The wax runs slow like a story that never needs to end
Somewhere a window holds the moon on the darkened sill
And you are the warmest thing in this room, my dear little friend

[Pre-chorus]
The brass holds steady, the flame leans soft against the air
Nothing tonight will hurry you, nothing will ask you to wake
So let the hush come closer and gather you there

[Chorus]
Eleanor, sleep now, the night is holding you kind
Rest where it's quiet, rest where the dark is warm
Nothing will wander too far to leave you behind
Eleanor, you are held safe until the morn

[Verse 2]
The taper burns thinner but never once burns afraid
Its little light knows exactly how long it's to stay
You breathe out slowly, unfolding the day you've made
And the dark leans in gently to carry you away

[Bridge]
Even the smallest flame can fill up a whole dark room
So let your sleep be certain, let your sleep be deep

[Chorus]
Eleanor, sleep now, the night is holding you kind
Rest where it's quiet, rest where the dark is warm
Nothing will wander too far to leave you behind
Eleanor, you are held safe until the morn

[Outro]
The little flame goes down soft, but you are already dreaming
Warm in the dark, safe as the last light leaving
