Yellow Light for Jackie
Style: Gentle acoustic

[Verse 1]
The candle burns low on its little white saucer
Wax pooling soft round a wick bent and black
Just like that flame, you are watched every moment
Nothing tonight will find its way past that

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the warm light hold you
Let the hush of the house settle deep in your chest
Sleep is coming gentle, and so am I, staying

[Chorus]
Jackie, Jackie, the light is turning low
Softly melting, easy, slow
You are held here, safe and warm
Jackie, nothing here can do you harm

[Verse 2]
The night outside is quiet, the whole world settling
Only the smallest glow left to keep back the dark
You don't need to know how far that dark reaches
You only need to know you're held in this small spark

[Bridge]
Even when the flame goes down to nothing
Even in the dark I will still be near
There is nothing in the night that comes to find you
Nothing waiting out there that you need fear

[Chorus]
Jackie, Jackie, the light is turning low
Softly melting, easy, slow
You are held here, safe and warm
Jackie, nothing here can do you harm

[Outro]
The wax has gone still now, the wick has gone quiet
Sleep on, little one, warm and safe and mine
