Blue Saucer Moon
Style: Folk cradle song

[Verse 1]
A candle leans and lets its warm wax fall so slow
pooling soft and bright in the little saucer's glow
your breathing finds the rhythm of the clock upon the shelf
and I am watching over you so you don't have to watch yourself

[Chorus]
Jesse, close your eyes now, let the quiet hold you tight
nothing in this room but love and shadow, love and light
Jesse, drift away now, there is nowhere else to be
just this warm and waiting dark, just you and me

[Verse 2]
The wax has found its shape now, settled where it fell
curled up small and steady like a story it could tell
and you are doing just the same beneath your blanket's fold
growing soft and heavy as the candle turns to gold

[Pre-chorus]
Somewhere past the window all the stars are holding still
the whole wide sleeping world has learned to listen and be still
and here inside this small warm room, your eyes are growing dim

[Chorus]
Jesse, close your eyes now, let the quiet hold you tight
nothing in this room but love and shadow, love and light
Jesse, drift away now, there is nowhere else to be
just this warm and waiting dark, just you and me

[Bridge]
Let the ticking be a hand that gently rocks you on
let the low blue light stay lit until the dark is gone

[Chorus]
Jesse, close your eyes now, let the quiet hold you tight
nothing in this room but love and shadow, love and light
Jesse, drift away now, there is nowhere else to be
just this warm and waiting dark, just you and me

[Outro]
The saucer holds its small blue pool till morning comes to call
and I'll be holding you the same way through it all
