Amber Light
Style: Gentle acoustic

[Verse 1]
The little lamp is glowing soft behind its amber shade
Watching shadows climbing gently up the flowered wall
You are curled up warm and heavy where the light has laid
Safe inside this quiet room where nothing else can fall

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the glow hold steady through the dark
Every breath you take is counted, every one is heard
Rest a while and let the night wrap round you like a spark

[Chorus]
John, the lamp will burn till morning comes along
You are held here in the amber, safe and warm
There is nowhere in this wide world you belong
Except right here, John, wrapped inside this quiet storm

[Verse 2]
The shadows on the wallpaper are dancing soft and slow
Tracing shapes that only sleepy eyes can somehow see
You are sinking deeper down to where the dreams will grow
Nothing in this whole night wants to trouble you but me

[Chorus]
John, the lamp will burn till morning comes along
You are held here in the amber, safe and warm
There is nowhere in this wide world you belong
Except right here, John, wrapped inside this quiet storm

[Bridge]
Even when the little bulb has finally burned down low
Someone will be near to watch the amber embers glow

[Chorus]
John, the lamp will burn till morning comes along
You are held here in the amber, safe and warm
There is nowhere in this wide world you belong
Except right here, John, wrapped inside this quiet storm

[Outro]
The wall will keep its shadows till the morning finds the door
And you will still be loved then, just as you were loved before
