Small Light, Steady Wings
Style: Accordion cradle

[Verse 1]
Up above the stairs a small moth turns in the glow
circling that warm little bulb, so slow, so slow
You are curled up safe while the house grows still and dim
and nothing in the dark tonight can trouble you or him

[Chorus]
Eloise, the night is holding you in its quiet hands
soft as feathers, soft as hush across the sleeping lands
Close your eyes, Eloise, and drift where dreaming lies
you are loved beyond the reach of every worry that could rise

[Verse 2]
That small moth only wants the warmth of one gold light
and you are held by warmth much wider through the night
Rest your head, let every sound grow distant, soft and far
you are watched the way the darkness watches over one bright star

[Pre-chorus]
Hear how quiet settles down along the narrow stair
feel how nothing in this house would ever let you scare
close your eyes now, little one, and float on gentle air

[Chorus]
Eloise, the night is holding you in its quiet hands
soft as feathers, soft as hush across the sleeping lands
Close your eyes, Eloise, and drift where dreaming lies
you are loved beyond the reach of every worry that could rise

[Bridge]
Wings will rest when morning finally comes to call
light will find you gently, softer than a falling shawl

[Chorus]
Eloise, the night is holding you in its quiet hands
soft as feathers, soft as hush across the sleeping lands
Close your eyes, Eloise, and drift where dreaming lies
you are loved beyond the reach of every worry that could rise

[Outro]
That small moth folds its wings against the fading light
and you sleep on, held safe and warm, all through the night
