Yellow Light on the Wall
Style: Celesta and strings

[Verse 1]
A far yellow light slides slow across the wall tonight
It passes so gently over the glass and then it's gone
The dark holds this room like something warm and kind
And nothing can touch you here before the dawn

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the quiet carry you down
The whole tired world is folding itself to rest
And every small sound is turning into hush

[Chorus]
Elsie, the night is only holding you close
Nothing will wake you, nothing will ask you to stay awake
Elsie, you're wrapped in every soft thing I know
Sleep now, sleep deep, for your own sweet sake

[Verse 2]
The light on the wall moves slower than any clock
It doesn't need you awake to keep its far off place
You can let go of the day, it's already done
There's nothing waiting out there but the dark's soft face

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the quiet carry you down
The whole tired world is folding itself to rest
And every small sound is turning into hush

[Chorus]
Elsie, the night is only holding you close
Nothing will wake you, nothing will ask you to stay awake
Elsie, you're wrapped in every soft thing I know
Sleep now, sleep deep, for your own sweet sake

[Bridge]
However far that small light travels on its way
It only ever passes, it was never meant to stay
You are the one thing steady in this whole dim room

[Chorus]
Elsie, the night is only holding you close
Nothing will wake you, nothing will ask you to stay awake
Elsie, you're wrapped in every soft thing I know
Sleep now, sleep deep, for your own sweet sake

[Outro]
The light has gone from the wall and left it dark and still
And you are held here softly, safe from any harm
