One Small Light on the Ridge
Style: Vibraphone drift

[Verse 1]
Far on the ridge one small window is glowing for you
Steady and gold while the pine trees are darkening too
Nothing tonight is as far as it seems from your bed
Sleep now, the whole quiet valley is holding your head

[Pre-chorus]
Close now your eyes, let the branches sway soft overhead
Every small sound settles down into hush as you're fed
Warm as that light, you are carried on into

[Chorus]
Emerson, rest where the soft dark begins
Nothing can reach you past pine trees and wind
Sleep is a blanket that nobody's taking
Emerson, dream till the slow light is breaking

[Verse 2]
Somewhere out there is a lamp keeping watch on its own
Small as it looks, it was never once left there alone
You are that light held so gently against the whole night
Nothing that's dark in the world gets to dim down your light

[Bridge]
Let the wind lean through the pines and pass you by
Nothing it carries will wake you or ask you why

[Chorus]
Emerson, rest where the soft dark begins
Nothing can reach you past pine trees and wind
Sleep is a blanket that nobody's taking
Emerson, dream till the slow light is breaking

[Outro]
Somewhere that window still glows on the ridge, soft and slow
Just like that light, you are watched over wherever you go
