Orange Light on the Glass
Style: Cello cradle

[Verse 1]
The rain runs soft along the window while the engine hums so low
An orange light is warm against your sleepy little face
We are rolling gently through the dark to where the fires glow
And every mile is carrying you closer to your place

[Pre-chorus]
The wheels keep turning slower than the beating of your heart
Nothing in this whole wide world could ever pull us apart
So let the hum and rhythm of the road become your sleepy start

[Chorus]
Finlay, close your eyes now, let the night be soft and kind
Rest inside the quiet that we're leaving day behind
Finlay, you are held here, you are safe and you are mine
Sleep will come so gently like a curtain, slow to find

[Verse 2]
The glass is streaked with silver where the raindrops softly fall
You are wrapped in warmth while all the world is turning grey outside
I will keep you closer than the dashboard's amber glow of all
And I will hum you homeward on this long and easy ride

[Bridge]
Let the hush of tires be the song that rocks you still
Nothing needs to hurry, nothing needs to be until

[Chorus]
Finlay, close your eyes now, let the night be soft and kind
Rest inside the quiet that we're leaving day behind
Finlay, you are held here, you are safe and you are mine
Sleep will come so gently like a curtain, slow to find

[Outro]
The light will fade to nothing as the rain begins to clear
And you will still be held here, you'll be always, always near
