Green Wick Burning Low
Style: Celesta and strings

[Verse 1]
Wax runs soft and slow around the small green flame tonight
Gathering warm and golden in the gentle candlelight
Nothing here will hurry, nothing here will fall
You are held as close as any warmth held near you

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the evening settle soft around your head
Every little sound grows quiet, every worry goes to bed
Close your eyes and drift where all the soft things go

[Chorus]
Khadija, the whole wide night is folding gently over you
Sleep is just a warm room where the stars come shining through
Nothing in the dark tonight was ever meant to scare you
Rest here, little Khadija, love is holding on to you

[Verse 2]
Watch the way the light pools soft along the wooden ledge
Never spilling, never rushing past its quiet little edge
Stillness has a shape and it is shaped like you

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the evening settle soft around your head
Every little sound grows quiet, every worry goes to bed
Close your eyes and drift where all the soft things go

[Chorus]
Khadija, the whole wide night is folding gently over you
Sleep is just a warm room where the stars come shining through
Nothing in the dark tonight was ever meant to scare you
Rest here, little Khadija, love is holding on to you

[Bridge]
Somewhere a small flame settles low and steady, burning true
Just like the quiet love that never once stopped watching you

[Chorus]
Khadija, the whole wide night is folding gently over you
Sleep is just a warm room where the stars come shining through
Nothing in the dark tonight was ever meant to scare you
Rest here, little Khadija, love is holding on to you

[Outro]
Somewhere the wax cools soft and still along the wooden ledge
Sleep now, you are held and warm and safe past any edge
