A Little Red Light
Style: Harp lullaby

[Verse 1]
A little red light glows soft on the blanket above you
Warm as a coal that the evening has banked down low
You breathe out slow and the whole day settles around you
Nothing can reach you in here where the quiet winds slow

[Chorus]
Evie, the dark can't find you tonight
Close your eyes now, let go of the day
Nobody's heavy when they're held so tight
Evie, I'll keep every shadow away

[Verse 2]
Your little roof made of blankets is holding the light in
Folding it soft round the shape of you curled up to rest
Outside the wind might be turning the world to a night wind
In here it's warm as a hand held close to your chest

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the whole house is breathing so slow around you
Nothing will stir while the red light burns low overhead
Let your eyes close, love, and let the dark hold you

[Chorus]
Evie, the dark can't find you tonight
Close your eyes now, let go of the day
Nobody's heavy when they're held so tight
Evie, I'll keep every shadow away

[Bridge]
Sleep is a tent that we build out of nothing but care
Stitched up from warmth and the sound of your breath in the air

[Chorus]
Evie, the dark can't find you tonight
Close your eyes now, let go of the day
Nobody's heavy when they're held so tight
Evie, I'll keep every shadow away

[Outro]
Somewhere the red light is dimming to nothing but ember
Sleep now, my love, and be warm till the morning
