Slender Little Light
Style: Rain and piano

[Verse 1]
The green leaves are rustling so softly beyond your window tonight
Cool and damp is the air that comes drifting in with the light
Nothing out there can reach you, nothing at all
You are held here so closely, you are wrapped up so tight

[Pre-chorus]
Let the hush of the vine leaves carry you low and slow
Let your breathing grow easy as the night begins to grow
Close your eyes now, my darling, there's nowhere else to go

[Chorus]
Ember, the dark is gentle when you are here with me
Warm as a low flame burning quiet as it can be
Ember, I will remember every hour of this September
Nothing will touch you softer than the love that lets you be

[Verse 2]
Somewhere the vines are curling round the fence in the cool night air
Nothing is asking for you now, there is no need to be anywhere
Only the rain on the window, only my hand in yours
Only this quiet room and the sound of you breathing there

[Pre-chorus]
Let the hush of the vine leaves carry you low and slow
Let your breathing grow easy as the night begins to grow
Close your eyes now, my darling, there's nowhere else to go

[Chorus]
Ember, the dark is gentle when you are here with me
Warm as a low flame burning quiet as it can be
Ember, I will remember every hour of this September
Nothing will touch you softer than the love that lets you be

[Bridge]
Sleep now, and let the whole wide night turn slender and small
Nothing can find you here, nothing at all

[Chorus]
Ember, the dark is gentle when you are here with me
Warm as a low flame burning quiet as it can be
Ember, I will remember every hour of this September
Nothing will touch you softer than the love that lets you be

[Outro]
The leaves outside are settling, and so, my love, are you
Sleep now in the green dark, held safe the whole night through
