Quiet as a Low Amber Light
Style: Ambient wash

[Verse 1]
A little moth is circling round a low and amber light
It never makes a sound as it goes drifting through the air
The whole wide room is settling into softness for the night
And you are held here safely in the warmth we're breathing there

[Pre-chorus]
Every worry of the day is folding itself down small
Your eyes are growing heavy as the hush begins to fall
So let the quiet carry you before I sing at all

[Chorus]
Sleep now, Elliot, the whole house is quiet
Nothing can reach you, no reason to fight it
Close your eyes softly, don't try to deny it
Elliot, my darling, this calm is your islet

[Verse 2]
The moth has found its stillness on the warm and glowing glass
No hurry in its wings now, only rest inside the light
And you are just as steady as the slow hours that pass
Wrapped up in something gentle that will hold you through the night

[Chorus]
Sleep now, Elliot, the whole house is quiet
Nothing can reach you, no reason to fight it
Close your eyes softly, don't try to deny it
Elliot, my darling, this calm is your islet

[Bridge]
Nothing out there needs you now, so let it drift away
Rest inside the small warm hour of this ending day

[Chorus]
Sleep now, Elliot, the whole house is quiet
Nothing can reach you, no reason to fight it
Close your eyes softly, don't try to deny it
Elliot, my darling, this calm is your islet

[Outro]
The little light goes dim now, and the moth has settled too
Sleep gathers soft around you, and I'm staying here with you
