Yellow Light on the Ceiling
Style: Gentle acoustic

[Verse 1]
The light slides soft across the ceiling, gold and slow
carriages hushing past the window down below
and here in this small room the quiet starts to grow
holding you closer than the dark could ever know

[Pre-chorus]
Every little sound out there is turning into rest
the whole night seems to lean in close and settle on your chest
so let your eyes grow heavy now, you've nothing left to prove

[Chorus]
Howard, Howard, the light is moving slow
painting gold across the dark you love to watch and know
you are held, you are wanted, wherever this light goes
Howard, sleep now, let the quiet grow

[Verse 2]
The carriages are fewer now, the street is turning still
and the gold keeps sliding gently like it's climbing up a hill
nothing out there needs you, nothing asks you for your will
just the warm and steady feeling that this house is yours to fill

[Chorus]
Howard, Howard, the light is moving slow
painting gold across the dark you love to watch and know
you are held, you are wanted, wherever this light goes
Howard, sleep now, let the quiet grow

[Bridge]
No need to chase the light, it always comes back round
and you are safe here, wrapped in every gentle sound

[Chorus]
Howard, Howard, the light is moving slow
painting gold across the dark you love to watch and know
you are held, you are wanted, wherever this light goes
Howard, sleep now, let the quiet grow

[Outro]
The light will keep on sliding long after you're asleep
still painting you in gold, still yours to keep
