Amber on the Rug
Style: Kalimba night

[Verse 1]
A wedge of amber light lies stretched across the faded rug
You watch it fade so slowly like a small and sleepy hug
Nothing in this room is asking anything of you
Kian, you are held here, safe and warm and snug

[Pre-chorus]
Your eyes are growing heavy as the colours start to blend
Hush now, there is nothing you need mend or need defend
Let the quiet gather you in gently round the bend

[Chorus]
Kian, sleep is calling soft and low and slow
Nothing in the dark tonight will ever bring you woe
You are loved beyond the reach of anything you'd try to find
Kian, let the warm light take you where you go

[Verse 2]
That patch of light has faded now to shadow on the floor
You do not need to watch it, you have drifted somewhere more
Every little worry melts before it learns your name
Rest now, you have nowhere left that you are trying for

[Pre-chorus]
Your eyes are growing heavy as the colours start to blend
Hush now, there is nothing you need mend or need defend
Let the quiet gather you in gently round the bend

[Chorus]
Kian, sleep is calling soft and low and slow
Nothing in the dark tonight will ever bring you woe
You are loved beyond the reach of anything you'd try to find
Kian, let the warm light take you where you go

[Bridge]
Breathe out slow, let every hour dissolve away
Nothing waits for you but morning and the day

[Chorus]
Kian, sleep is calling soft and low and slow
Nothing in the dark tonight will ever bring you woe
You are loved beyond the reach of anything you'd try to find
Kian, let the warm light take you where you go

[Outro]
The rug will hold its pattern till the morning finds it there
Sleep now, Kian, you are held in careful, quiet care
