Little Torch of Light
Style: Gentle acoustic

[Verse 1]
Under the duvet a small light is glowing gold and low
Painted animals march softly across the cotton hill
Nothing can find you where the warm and quiet shadows go
Close your eyes now, the whole tired world is holding still

[Pre-chorus]
The torchlight dims to a whisper, soft as it can be
Every small breath you take is safe here next to me
So let the glow fade slowly into sleep and into

[Chorus]
Freda, Freda, the night is yours to keep
Nothing here can touch you while you sleep
Freda, hold this warmth as you go deep
Down where all the gentle dreamers creep

[Verse 2]
The lion on the pillow keeps his watch till morning comes
Somewhere past the window the quiet stars are turning slow
You are held here tighter than a lullaby or drums
Wrapped in every kindness that a small heart needs to know

[Bridge]
Let the yellow light go out, let the dark be kind
Rest inside the stillness that was always in your mind

[Chorus]
Freda, Freda, the night is yours to keep
Nothing here can touch you while you sleep
Freda, hold this warmth as you go deep
Down where all the gentle dreamers creep

[Outro]
Somewhere the small torch dims beneath the painted animal sky
Sleep now, Freda, safe and warm, until the morning's by
