Amber and Slow
Style: Harp lullaby

[Verse 1]
The fan turns slow and the amber light goes drifting round the room
Soft as a hand that is smoothing out the day
Everything settles the way that dark things settle into bloom
And you are the quiet at the centre of it, held and tucked away

[Pre-chorus]
The shadows are turning so gentle overhead
Nothing can reach you, nothing needs to try
Close your eyes now, there is only sleep ahead

[Chorus]
Flora, the night is holding you like water holds the shore
Warm little breaths, and the light turning slow
Nothing in the world could love you more than I adore her
Flora, drift down deep to where the soft winds blow

[Verse 2]
The walls are painted gold with a light that barely moves at all
Quiet as a story told beneath your breath
Somewhere past the ceiling the whole wide world grows small
And you are the one thing I would keep from every kind of harm

[Bridge]
Sleep is just a boat that rocks you out beyond the shore
Nothing here will wake you, nothing here will call
I will still be near you when the morning comes for Flora

[Chorus]
Flora, the night is holding you like water holds the shore
Warm little breaths, and the light turning slow
Nothing in the world could love you more than I adore her
Flora, drift down deep to where the soft winds blow

[Outro]
The fan turns slow, the amber light is dimming down to rest
Sleep now, Flora, you are held, you are the best
