Amber and Sleep
Style: Harp lullaby

[Verse 1]
The bulb is turned to face the wall, so soft and low tonight
and amber light spills gently down across the sheets of white
the whole wide room is settling now, breathing slow with you
you're wrapped in warmth and held in close, my darling Lee, so tight

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes, let every worry drift away like foam
feel the quiet gather round you, soft as it has ever grown
and let the dark become the place you always call your home

[Chorus]
Sleep now, Lee, the night is holding you so near and free
drifting soft as amber light that spills across the sea
nothing here can touch you, nothing here can trouble thee
rest your head, my darling Lee, there's nowhere safe as here to be

[Verse 2]
The shadows on the ceiling move so slowly, kind and slow
they never mean to frighten you, they're only passing through
every little sound tonight is just the house saying goodnight
and I am here beside you now, however this night may go

[Bridge]
Let the amber light keep watch while you are dreaming deep
and I will stay right here with you, however long you sleep

[Chorus]
Sleep now, Lee, the night is holding you so near and free
drifting soft as amber light that spills across the sea
nothing here can touch you, nothing here can trouble thee
rest your head, my darling Lee, there's nowhere safe as here to be

[Outro]
The light still leans against the wall, so gentle now, so low
sleep on, my Lee, the amber glow will keep you warm till morning
