Orange Light on the Way Home
Style: Glockenspiel

[Verse 1]
The streetlights slide across the buckle by your chin
Soft orange waves that drift and glow and fall
You watch them go with sleepy eyes half open
Riding home where no harm comes at all

[Pre-chorus]
Every light that passes you is turning into rest
Your breathing slows to match the hum below
Hold on to nothing, let the dark be gentle

[Chorus]
Ella, the night is wrapping soft around you now
Nobody's calling you home but home is here
Ella, you're carried safe through every shadow
Sleep is close and love is always near

[Verse 2]
The world outside grows quiet as the wheels turn slow
Your small hands rest like they've stopped needing to hold
Nothing can reach you in this warm and moving cocoon
You're the softest thing this whole night ever told

[Bridge]
Let the hush settle deep into your shoulders
Let the glow outside just blur and fade away

[Chorus]
Ella, the night is wrapping soft around you now
Nobody's calling you home but home is here
Ella, you're carried safe through every shadow
Sleep is close and love is always near

[Outro]
The last light slides across the buckle, dimming low
You're already dreaming, and it's time to let you go
