Low Lamp Light
Style: Rain and piano

[Verse 1]
The lamp is turned down low and the book is lying still
One page left open where the story paused for you
Nothing in the house is asking anything tonight
Close your eyes now, there is nowhere else you need to be

[Pre-chorus]
Every little sound outside has settled into rain
Somewhere past the window all the hurry drains away
And here inside these walls you're held and warm again

[Chorus]
Henry, hush now, let the quiet carry you
There isn't anything you have to say or do
Rest your head, my Henry, that is plenty
The dark is only soft, it comes to hold you too

[Verse 2]
You don't have to finish what the story never said
Whatever waits tomorrow can wait outside the door
Feel how heavy your small hands have grown with sleep
You are the safest thing this whole house holds

[Chorus]
Henry, hush now, let the quiet carry you
There isn't anything you have to say or do
Rest your head, my Henry, that is plenty
The dark is only soft, it comes to hold you too

[Bridge]
Rain keeps time along the glass, so slow, so slow
Somewhere a piano hums the tune you already know

[Chorus]
Henry, hush now, let the quiet carry you
There isn't anything you have to say or do
Rest your head, my Henry, that is plenty
The dark is only soft, it comes to hold you too

[Outro]
The lamp burns low and low until it's only glow
Sleep now, the book will still be open when you wake
