Yellow Light
Style: Kalimba night

[Verse 1]
Yellow light is falling soft across your sleepy pillow now
fingers still are tracing shapes along a well loved page
the story waits so quietly for morning to arrive
this room is warm and gentle and it knows just how to hold you

[Pre-chorus]
Let your busy little fingers finally rest and still
the pictures will be waiting when the morning comes around
close your eyes and drift now, easy as a breath

[Chorus]
Sleep now, sleep now, Elijah, the night is soft and kind
close your eyes and let the whole wide world unwind
nothing here can touch you, nothing here will ever harm you
Elijah, you are held and you are safe and you are mine

[Verse 2]
The lamp beside you glows the colour of a summer afternoon
every corner of this room is warm and hushed for you
somewhere far away the moon is climbing very slow
and it shines the very same soft gold across your quiet pillow

[Pre-chorus]
Let your busy little fingers finally rest and still
the pictures will be waiting when the morning comes around
close your eyes and drift now, easy as a breath

[Chorus]
Sleep now, sleep now, Elijah, the night is soft and kind
close your eyes and let the whole wide world unwind
nothing here can touch you, nothing here will ever harm you
Elijah, you are held and you are safe and you are mine

[Bridge]
No need to hold the story open, it will still be there
morning always finds you gently, waiting soft and near

[Chorus]
Sleep now, sleep now, Elijah, the night is soft and kind
close your eyes and let the whole wide world unwind
nothing here can touch you, nothing here will ever harm you
Elijah, you are held and you are safe and you are mine

[Outro]
The yellow light will still be glowing gently when you wake
and you are loved as softly as that light upon the page
