Slow Wax, Soft Light
Style: Clarinet nightlight

[Verse 1]
Watch how the candle leans and lets its light go soft and slow
Pooling in silver like a secret only shadows get to keep
Nothing tonight is asking you to hurry or to know
You are the reason even quiet rooms don't feel so deep

[Pre-chorus]
Somewhere a small flame settles into stillness, round and low
Breathe in the warmth that says there's nowhere else you need to be
Close your eyes now, Juniper, and let the whole house slow

[Chorus]
Juniper, Juniper, the wax has found its rest
Sleep is a saucer catching all the light you carry gold
Nobody counts the hours when you're held against a chest
Juniper, you are the warmest thing this house will ever hold

[Verse 2]
Drops of light are gathering where the little flame used to stand
Soft and round and settling like a hand upon a hand
Nothing spills that wasn't always meant to come to rest
You were always going to land here, always going to be blessed

[Pre-chorus]
Somewhere a small flame settles into stillness, round and low
Breathe in the warmth that says there's nowhere else you need to be
Close your eyes now, Juniper, and let the whole house slow

[Chorus]
Juniper, Juniper, the wax has found its rest
Sleep is a saucer catching all the light you carry gold
Nobody counts the hours when you're held against a chest
Juniper, you are the warmest thing this house will ever hold

[Bridge]
Let the last small glow go quiet, easy, unafraid
Nothing that is loved this much was ever meant to fade

[Chorus]
Juniper, Juniper, the wax has found its rest
Sleep is a saucer catching all the light you carry gold
Nobody counts the hours when you're held against a chest
Juniper, you are the warmest thing this house will ever hold

[Outro]
The saucer holds its stillness now, the flame long since let go
Sleep, Juniper, and know you're held while all the light stays low
