Amber on the Glass
Style: Flute and pad

[Verse 1]
Slow amber beams go sweeping past the dark windowpane tonight
and somewhere out beyond the glass the whole wide world grows quiet
nothing out there needs you now, so let your eyelids fall
you are the softest light in this small room, my Kevin

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the beams are fading slow into the deep blue dark
every corner of this house is breathing low and settled
so let the last of your small worries drift on out the door

[Chorus]
Kevin, my Kevin, the night has come to hold you
closer than heaven, softer than seven blankets round you
sleep is a warm boat waiting just to carry you
rest easy, Kevin, there is nothing here to scold you

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past Devon the same slow dark is falling too
tucking in every small and drowsy head beneath its wing
but none of them are held quite like you are held right now
you are the reason this whole quiet house keeps breathing

[Bridge]
Let the beams go sliding by and take your worries with them
nothing waits for you tonight but stillness and your pillow

[Chorus]
Kevin, my Kevin, the night has come to hold you
closer than heaven, softer than seven blankets round you
sleep is a warm boat waiting just to carry you
rest easy, Kevin, there is nothing here to scold you

[Outro]
The amber beams have gone to sleep beyond the windowpane
and here you rest, held safe and warm, till morning finds you
