A Light So Far Away
Style: Celesta and strings

[Verse 1]
Far off a window catches one slow beam of light
I watch it cross the dark and think of you
Nothing out there could ever hold what you mean to me
There's no beam bright enough to match you

[Pre-chorus]
The night is wide but you are closer than the stars
Every hush in this room is bending toward your bed
Close your eyes now, love, and let the quiet in

[Chorus]
Laura, sleep is coming soft to find you
Nothing in this house will let you fall
You're the warmest light in all the darkness
Laura, you're adored above them all

[Verse 2]
The beam moves on and fades behind the far hill's edge
But you stay lit up here inside my chest
Nothing distant matters half as much as your small breath
You're the one thing I would never let rest

[Pre-chorus]
The night is wide but you are closer than the stars
Every hush in this room is bending toward your bed
Close your eyes now, love, and let the quiet in

[Chorus]
Laura, sleep is coming soft to find you
Nothing in this house will let you fall
You're the warmest light in all the darkness
Laura, you're adored above them all

[Bridge]
Let every worry drift out past the window glass
You are held so gently, you don't have to ask

[Chorus]
Laura, sleep is coming soft to find you
Nothing in this house will let you fall
You're the warmest light in all the darkness
Laura, you're adored above them all

[Outro]
Somewhere that beam still sweeps a window far and grey
But you are here with me, safe and sound, always
