Little Light
Style: Cello cradle

[Verse 1]
You keep a small torch tucked beneath the duvet's fold
and shadows learn to dance so soft along the ceiling
the whole wide dark becomes a gentle thing to hold
and every hush around you carries such a feeling

[Pre-chorus]
Let the light go dim now, let your eyelids follow
close upon the day and all its bright to borrow
sleep is only softness waiting just beyond

[Chorus]
Isla, Isla, close your eyes and rest here
nothing in the shadows means you any harm
you are held so gently, you are always near here
Isla, you are warm here, you are warm

[Verse 2]
You trace the little circle where the torchlight falls
and watch it climb so slowly up the quiet wall
you are the softest secret kept inside these walls
the safest kind of small that ever slept at all

[Bridge]
Whatever waits tomorrow, it can wait a while
let this small glow be all the world you need
nothing asks you now for anything but stillness

[Chorus]
Isla, Isla, close your eyes and rest here
nothing in the shadows means you any harm
you are held so gently, you are always near here
Isla, you are warm here, you are warm

[Outro]
Let the torch go quiet now beneath the fold
you are still the light that this whole room will hold
