Green Light, Soft Night
Style: Cello cradle

[Verse 1]
The green tent glows soft where the streetlamp leans in close
Leaves paint their small shadows across the wicker frame
Everything outside has gone quiet and settled down
And you are the reason this whole night feels tame

[Chorus]
Harper, Harper, the dark is only a blanket
Nothing out there can reach you, nothing ever will
Close your eyes now and let the hush wrap around you
Harper, you are the calm this house was built to fill

[Verse 2]
The wicker creaks the way an old friend hums a tune
Shadows drift like slow boats across the canvas wall
None of it matters more than the breath that you're taking
You are held so gently, you will not fall

[Pre-chorus]
Somewhere a light is dimming, somewhere the wind lies still
The whole wide world is folding itself down small
Just enough room left for one small heart to rest in

[Chorus]
Harper, Harper, the dark is only a blanket
Nothing out there can reach you, nothing ever will
Close your eyes now and let the hush wrap around you
Harper, you are the calm this house was built to fill

[Bridge]
Sleep now, and let the green light hold its watch till morning
No need to keep one eye open, no need to wonder
You are so loved that even shadows learn to soften
Rest inside that, let it carry you on under

[Chorus]
Harper, Harper, the dark is only a blanket
Nothing out there can reach you, nothing ever will
Close your eyes now and let the hush wrap around you
Harper, you are the calm this house was built to fill

[Outro]
The leaves keep their slow watch over the wicker frame
Sleep well, small one, you are the softest kind of light
