Yellow Light Under Blue
Style: Accordion cradle

[Verse 1]
A small light glows soft underneath the deep blue quilt tonight
folding you in like a secret held in golden light
the whole wide world can wait outside this quiet little tent
every worry of the day is spent, is spent, is spent

[Chorus]
Sleep now, Elis, the glow is warm and low
under the blue quilt, easy as you go
you are the softest thing this house has ever known
Elis, close your eyes, you are never on your own

[Verse 2]
The light leans yellow through the fabric, gentle as a hum
telling you that morning always finds you when it comes
nothing in the dark tonight will ever reach this place
you are held here safer than a chalice, wrapped in grace

[Pre-chorus]
Let your small breath slow to match the hush around your bed
let the glow beneath the quilt sit softly by your head
and drift now toward the calm that's waiting to be said

[Chorus]
Sleep now, Elis, the glow is warm and low
under the blue quilt, easy as you go
you are the softest thing this house has ever known
Elis, close your eyes, you are never on your own

[Bridge]
Nothing needs your eyes open, nothing needs your voice
the whole night through, there was never any better choice
just this glow, just this hush, just this steady, gentle beat

[Chorus]
Sleep now, Elis, the glow is warm and low
under the blue quilt, easy as you go
you are the softest thing this house has ever known
Elis, close your eyes, you are never on your own

[Outro]
The yellow light will keep on glowing soft below the blue
and long past morning, love will still be holding you
