Green Glass Light
Style: Accordion cradle

[Verse 1]
The little lamp swings soft on chains of dimming brass tonight
Its green glass pools a quiet colour on the stack of books below
You watch the shadows settle till your eyes grow heavy and light
And everything you carry now can finally let go

[Pre-chorus]
The house breathes slow around you, every corner turning kind
Nothing needs your waking now, no reason left to try
So let the last light dim and leave the day behind

[Chorus]
Kai, the whole wide house is holding you tonight
Nothing here will wake you, nothing here will pry
Close your eyes and drift beneath that gentle green glass light
Kai, you're closer to me than the moon is to the sky

[Verse 2]
The books stay closed and dreaming with their stories tucked away
Brass chains hang still now, not a single one will sway
You've nothing left to finish, nothing more to say
Just rest inside the hush that carries you away

[Chorus]
Kai, the whole wide house is holding you tonight
Nothing here will wake you, nothing here will pry
Close your eyes and drift beneath that gentle green glass light
Kai, you're closer to me than the moon is to the sky

[Bridge]
Every soft thing in this room was chosen just for you
The dark outside can't reach you, it only holds the view

[Chorus]
Kai, the whole wide house is holding you tonight
Nothing here will wake you, nothing here will pry
Close your eyes and drift beneath that gentle green glass light
Kai, you're closer to me than the moon is to the sky

[Outro]
Sleep now beneath the green glass glow that watched you all along
This is where you're loved the most, this is where you belong
