Under the Yellow Lamp
Style: Glockenspiel

[Verse 1]
Wool lies still and warm across my knees tonight
Lamp above us burns a soft and yellow light
Nothing needs to move while you drift down to sleep
Little breaths of yours are steady and just right

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, close your eyes, the dark is kind and slow
Every worry folds and settles soft and low
Sleep is calling gently, waiting just for

[Chorus]
Joe, my heart keeps time with every breath you take
Nothing in this house will stir or ever wake
Joe, you are the warmest thing I've ever known
You can let it go, and drift, for my sake

[Verse 2]
Shadows on the wall are soft and never sharp
Quiet fills the room like one long gentle note
Nothing here will hurry you from where you rest
Only stillness now, and love that keeps afloat

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, close your eyes, the dark is kind and slow
Every worry folds and settles soft and low
Sleep is calling gently, waiting just for

[Chorus]
Joe, my heart keeps time with every breath you take
Nothing in this house will stir or ever wake
Joe, you are the warmest thing I've ever known
You can let it go, and drift, for my sake

[Bridge]
Rest your small hand near the wool and let it stay
Nothing waits beyond this room but soft and grey

[Chorus]
Joe, my heart keeps time with every breath you take
Nothing in this house will stir or ever wake
Joe, you are the warmest thing I've ever known
You can let it go, and drift, for my sake

[Outro]
Wool still rests across my knees beneath the glow
Sleep well now, little one, I'll stay till morning's slow
