Amber on the Landing
Style: Kalimba night

[Verse 1]
Amber light is spilling soft along the banister rail
and it finds you where you're curled up, safe beneath your blanket's fold
I would keep this quiet hour if I only had a way to sail
past the morning, just to hold you longer than the night has told

[Pre-chorus]
Every little breath you take is settling soft and slow
the house is dim and dreaming now, the hush begins to grow
and all the love I carry for you wants so much to show

[Chorus]
Gillian, the light is low and gentle, made for you
hush now, close your eyes, let every worry drift and thin
you are held here safe as amber, through and through
sleep now, Gillian, the whole wide night is tucked you in

[Verse 2]
You breathe so soft against the pillow, steady as a tide
and the carpet holds the colours of a fire that won't burn
every shadow on the landing knows you're tucked up safe inside
and it waits there patient with you till the morning's slow return

[Pre-chorus]
Every little breath you take is settling soft and slow
the house is dim and dreaming now, the hush begins to grow
and all the love I carry for you wants so much to show

[Chorus]
Gillian, the light is low and gentle, made for you
hush now, close your eyes, let every worry drift and thin
you are held here safe as amber, through and through
sleep now, Gillian, the whole wide night is tucked you in

[Bridge]
Nothing in the dark can find you, nothing means you harm
only quiet colours falling gold across your arm

[Chorus]
Gillian, the light is low and gentle, made for you
hush now, close your eyes, let every worry drift and thin
you are held here safe as amber, through and through
sleep now, Gillian, the whole wide night is tucked you in

[Outro]
The amber fades so slowly now, but you are held the same
sleep on, sleep on, forever safe inside your gentle name
