Orange Light, Emily
Style: Music box

[Verse 1]
The lamps go drifting orange bars across the dark
soft as a hand that's tracing where you are
Engines hum their low and far away tune
and you are held here, safe beneath the moon

[Pre-chorus]
Let every light that passes be a gentle friend
let every hum of distance say the day can end
close your eyes now, let the soft dark in

[Chorus]
Emily, the night is holding you so gently
warm against the world that hums so distantly
Sleep is close and love surrounds you endlessly
Emily, my Emily, rest here with me

[Verse 2]
The seatbelt line goes dim, then bright, then dim again
a quiet little rhythm like a lullaby's refrain
Nothing in the dark tonight can trouble you
I am here beside you, and I always will be too

[Chorus]
Emily, the night is holding you so gently
warm against the world that hums so distantly
Sleep is close and love surrounds you endlessly
Emily, my Emily, rest here with me

[Bridge]
Every mile becomes a hush, every hush a place to land
you are known and you are loved, held in careful hands

[Chorus]
Emily, the night is holding you so gently
warm against the world that hums so distantly
Sleep is close and love surrounds you endlessly
Emily, my Emily, rest here with me

[Outro]
The lamps will keep on glowing soft and slow
and you'll sleep safe in orange light's warm glow
