Yellow Beam
Style: Ambient wash

[Verse 1]
A yellow beam is sweeping slow across your green wool blanket
softly like it's searching just to find you and to thank you
dust is drifting easy in the hush of this small room
you are held here, Lena, safer than you'll ever know it

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the evening settle on your shoulders
nothing here can reach you while the light keeps watching over
rest is coming gentle, like a wave that's rolling nearer

[Chorus]
Lena, Lena, sleep is calling soft and low
every drifting speck of dust was told which way to go
down into the quiet where the warm light likes to stay
Lena, you are wanted here, wherever you may go

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past the window night is folding in its edges
warmth is climbing upward through the wool without a hurry
you don't need to open eyes to feel that you are cradled
stillness wraps around you like it learned your name at Athena

[Bridge]
Nothing in this room will move unless it moves for you
breathing slow beside you till the morning comes back too

[Chorus]
Lena, Lena, sleep is calling soft and low
every drifting speck of dust was told which way to go
down into the quiet where the warm light likes to stay
Lena, you are wanted here, wherever you may go

[Outro]
The beam has settled quiet on your green wool blanket now
sleep well, little Lena, you are safe here, always safe now
