Little Lights of Dust
Style: Rain and piano

[Verse 1]
Look how the moonlight lies so soft across the floor tonight
tiny bits of dust go drifting through that pale and gentle light
nothing in this room is asking you to move or stay awake
only quiet waiting here for you, for one more breath to take

[Chorus]
Elliot, the whole wide dark is holding you so near
every little sound outside is soft, there's nothing here to fear
Elliot, the night has come to wrap you warm and slow
so let your tired eyes just close and let the stillness grow

[Verse 2]
Watch the way that speck of light goes turning very slow and small
like it has all the time it needs, no hurry there at all
that is how this whole house feels about you lying here
safe and unafraid and warm, with everyone so near

[Pre-chorus]
The house breathes slow around you now, the lamp has dimmed its glow
your blanket holds the warmth of you and will not let it go
just a little further now and sleep will start to flow

[Chorus]
Elliot, the whole wide dark is holding you so near
every little sound outside is soft, there's nothing here to fear
Elliot, the night has come to wrap you warm and slow
so let your tired eyes just close and let the stillness grow

[Bridge]
Somewhere past the window, stars are keeping watch alone
but here inside this quiet room, you never sleep unknown

[Chorus]
Elliot, the whole wide dark is holding you so near
every little sound outside is soft, there's nothing here to fear
Elliot, the night has come to wrap you warm and slow
so let your tired eyes just close and let the stillness grow

[Outro]
The dust keeps drifting slowly through that patch of quiet light
sleep now, you are loved and held through every hour of the night
