Circle Round the Light
Style: Humming choir

[Verse 1]
A small light hangs above us on its crooked, tired wire
and moths keep turning round it like they never seem to tire
but you are curled up quiet, sinking soft into the bed
and nothing in this room could ever match your gentle fire

[Pre-chorus]
The wallpaper is peeling but the corner where you rest is warm
hush now, let the shadows lose their shape and lose their form
let every worry settle, there is nothing here to fear

[Chorus]
Leah, close your eyes now, let the whole wide night grow still
there is no idea sweeter than the one that you are here
Leah, I will watch you like the moths watch that one light
round and round and round you till the morning draws you near

[Verse 2]
The bulb will burn till sunrise, throwing gold across the floor
and I will stay beside you, I don't need to watch the door
because the only thing that matters is the breathing that I hear
soft and slow and steady, like a tide upon the shore

[Chorus]
Leah, close your eyes now, let the whole wide night grow still
there is no idea sweeter than the one that you are here
Leah, I will watch you like the moths watch that one light
round and round and round you till the morning draws you near

[Bridge]
Even crooked wires can hold something precious in the dark
even peeling walls can shelter something bright as any spark
you are that small warmth this whole tired house was built around

[Chorus]
Leah, close your eyes now, let the whole wide night grow still
there is no idea sweeter than the one that you are here
Leah, I will watch you like the moths watch that one light
round and round and round you till the morning draws you near

[Outro]
The light will dim to nothing but you'll never be alone
this crooked little corner will always be your home
