Light in the Hallway
Style: Irish air

[Verse 1]
Dust hangs gold in the hallway light
Nothing moves and nothing needs to
I could watch it half the evening
Just for something that reminds me of you

[Pre-chorus]
Some loves come in loud and fast
Ours just settled, soft as morning
Still I feel it building now

[Chorus]
Elsi, you're the calm in every room
No need to raise your voice to steady me
Some folk chase the noise and never find it
Elsi, you were always here to see

[Verse 2]
The lamp burns low along the wall
Everything else has gone to sleep
But I'm still thinking of your hands
And how you laugh so soft and deep

[Pre-chorus]
Some loves come in loud and fast
Ours just settled, soft as morning
Still I feel it building now

[Chorus]
Elsi, you're the calm in every room
No need to raise your voice to steady me
Some folk chase the noise and never find it
Elsi, you were always here to see

[Bridge]
I don't need the whole house lit
One small window's warmth will do
Long as it falls where you are standing
Long as some of it finds you too

[Chorus]
Elsi, you're the calm in every room
No need to raise your voice to steady me
Some folk chase the noise and never find it
Elsi, you were always here to see

[Outro]
The dust will settle, light will fade
But you're the warmth that always stayed
