Yellow Light on the Wall
Style: Celesta and strings

[Verse 1]
A yellow light slides quiet across the curtain's fold
It travels soft and easy, then it's gone before it's told
The room breathes low around you, warm and safe to hold
Nothing out there in the dark can touch this hush of gold

[Chorus]
Ismail, Ismail, the night is only kind
Every little light outside is combed and left behind
Close your eyes, Ismail, let the quiet do its work
Nothing in this soft dark room would ever let you hurt

[Verse 2]
The wall keeps catching gleams that drift and settle out of sight
You are wrapped in something steadier than any passing light
Breathe now, let your shoulders fall, let go of all the day
There is nowhere you need be, only here you get to stay

[Pre-chorus]
Somewhere past the window the whole wide world rolls on
But in here it is only breathing, only you till dawn
Let the hush come closer now, let your small hands relax

[Chorus]
Ismail, Ismail, the night is only kind
Every little light outside is combed and left behind
Close your eyes, Ismail, let the quiet do its work
Nothing in this soft dark room would ever let you hurt

[Bridge]
Sleep is just a boat that carries you along
Drifting slow past morning while the dark hums its low song

[Chorus]
Ismail, Ismail, the night is only kind
Every little light outside is combed and left behind
Close your eyes, Ismail, let the quiet do its work
Nothing in this soft dark room would ever let you hurt

[Outro]
The last light slips across the wall and fades to nothing there
You are held and you are wanted, safe inside this quiet air
