Joyce, the Light Is Low
Style: Ambient wash

[Verse 1]
The porch light glows soft through the frosted glass tonight
and the striped floor holds it gentle, holds it right
nothing here will wake or worry you
the whole room is breathing slow and warm and quiet

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes, let the dark be kind and near you
the house is settling down to keep and hold you
and the last small light is turning into sleep

[Chorus]
Joyce, the night has folded soft around you now
there is nothing out there that can touch you now
hush, let go of every little noise
you are held, you are safe, you can rejoice

[Verse 2]
Somewhere far a porch bulb hums its tiny gold
and it finds you here through glass gone soft and cold
you are wrapped in something warmer than the dark
every breath you take is one that we will hold

[Bridge]
Rest your small weight down, let the floor be still beneath you
let the shapes of night be gentle when they find you
nothing asks for anything, there's nowhere you must be

[Chorus]
Joyce, the night has folded soft around you now
there is nothing out there that can touch you now
hush, let go of every little noise
you are held, you are safe, you can rejoice

[Outro]
The light still glows so soft along the striped old floor
sleep now, Joyce, we'll still be here at morning's door
