Joyce, the Light Is Yours
Style: Celesta and strings

[Verse 1]
The evening light is stretching soft across the wall tonight
It finds the flowers on the paper and it makes them glow
Underneath the circle where the ceiling meets the light
You are the warmest thing this quiet room will ever know

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes and let the orange turn to grey
Feel the hush come drifting gently overhead
There is nowhere in the world you need to be but here

[Chorus]
Joyce, my love, the light will keep on holding you
Every colour in this room was made to be your voice
Nothing in the dark tonight can ever touch you
Sleep now, sleep now, safe and warm, my Joyce

[Verse 2]
The wallpaper has watched a thousand evenings come and go
But none of them were ever half as dear as watching you
Somewhere past the window there's a hush falling like snow
And it settles on your breathing like it knows just what to do

[Chorus]
Joyce, my love, the light will keep on holding you
Every colour in this room was made to be your voice
Nothing in the dark tonight can ever touch you
Sleep now, sleep now, safe and warm, my Joyce

[Bridge]
Let the small noise of the house become a lullaby
Let your breathing find the rhythm of the strings
Nothing needs to hurry, nothing needs to try
You are held here gently while the whole house sleeps and dreams

[Chorus]
Joyce, my love, the light will keep on holding you
Every colour in this room was made to be your voice
Nothing in the dark tonight can ever touch you
Sleep now, sleep now, safe and warm, my Joyce

[Outro]
The orange light will fade so softly from the flowers on the wall
And you will still be loved when morning comes to find you
