Yellow on the Rug
Style: Clarinet nightlight

[Verse 1]
Yellow light is pooling where the corner meets the floor
Little bits of dust go drifting through the glow so slow
You are watching quiet, heavy eyes about to close
Rest is coming nearer than it ever came before

[Pre-chorus]
Everything is softer now the evening's turned it down
Nothing in the whole wide house is making any sound
Just the hush that's waiting for you, gentle as a yawn

[Chorus]
John, the light is holding you the way it always does
Nobody could love you more than this whole room does
Sleep is only softness wrapping round you like a shawl
John, there's nowhere safer than exactly where you are

[Verse 2]
Warmth is pooling slower now, it barely wants to move
Shadows in the corner start to soften and to smooth
Close your eyes and drift along, there's nothing you must do
You have every reason in the world to feel so soothed

[Pre-chorus]
Everything is softer now the evening's turned it down
Nothing in the whole wide house is making any sound
Just the hush that's waiting for you, gentle as a yawn

[Chorus]
John, the light is holding you the way it always does
Nobody could love you more than this whole room does
Sleep is only softness wrapping round you like a shawl
John, there's nowhere safer than exactly where you are

[Bridge]
Let the dust keep drifting slow across the fading gold
Every little breath of yours is warm against the cold

[Chorus]
John, the light is holding you the way it always does
Nobody could love you more than this whole room does
Sleep is only softness wrapping round you like a shawl
John, there's nowhere safer than exactly where you are

[Outro]
Somewhere in the corner still the small light lingers on
Sleep now, you are held here safely, sleep now, John
