Light Along the Blanket
Style: Folk cradle song

[Verse 1]
Watch how the lamplight slides so slowly over the wool
Drifting across your blanket, soft and gold and full
Nothing can reach you here, nothing at all
Little one, you are held, you are safe, you are full

[Pre-chorus]
Somewhere a window glows and dims as the night walks past
Your breathing settles low and easy, deep and vast
Hush now, the dark is only resting at last

[Chorus]
Jacob, the light is moving gently, easing you to rest
Nothing but calm tonight, nothing but the best
Sleep comes soft as breath drawn slowly from the west
Jacob, you are the warmest thing that this house has ever blessed

[Verse 2]
Somewhere outside a lamp is burning low and kind
Casting its glow like a hand laid soft behind
Curl a little deeper into all this quiet
You are the calm this whole house was designed to find

[Bridge]
Let the shadows rock you the way the branches sway
Every worry folds and drifts a little further away

[Chorus]
Jacob, the light is moving gently, easing you to rest
Nothing but calm tonight, nothing but the best
Sleep comes soft as breath drawn slowly from the west
Jacob, you are the warmest thing that this house has ever blessed

[Outro]
The lamp keeps sliding slowly, soft along the wool
Sleep now, little one, you are safe, you are full
