Light Under the Door
Style: Rain and piano

[Verse 1]
A pale little light is spilling soft beneath the door
letting you know that somebody near is keeping watch
the house settles down to breathing quiet on the floor
and nothing in the dark tonight can touch you, not one notch

[Chorus]
Esme, the night is holding you so gently now
close your eyes, Esme, and let the hours go hazy
you are the calm this whole house gathers round somehow
sleep on, my love, sleep on, however slow or lazy

[Verse 2]
The kind of hush that only falls when you're this loved
wraps round the room and asks for nothing else tonight
you don't need words to be the warmest thing I've thought of
you are the reason this small light stays burning bright

[Pre-chorus]
Somewhere a clock is counting soft and slow and low
your breathing finds its rhythm and the room agrees
and everything I want for you begins to show

[Chorus]
Esme, the night is holding you so gently now
close your eyes, Esme, and let the hours go hazy
you are the calm this whole house gathers round somehow
sleep on, my love, sleep on, however slow or lazy

[Bridge]
Rain on the window keeps its own quiet time
and under it you drift where nothing needs to rhyme

[Chorus]
Esme, the night is holding you so gently now
close your eyes, Esme, and let the hours go hazy
you are the calm this whole house gathers round somehow
sleep on, my love, sleep on, however slow or lazy

[Outro]
That same soft light still glows along the bottom of the door
sleep easy now, you're held, you're safe, there's nothing more
