Yellow Bulb Burning Low
Style: Folk cradle song

[Verse 1]
Warmth is pooling gold above the carpet by the radiator
Softly the whole room hums itself to rest
Nothing tonight will ask you to be braver
You are the quiet this house loves best

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the small light hold you
Sleep is coming soft as breath can be
Stay right here where nothing needs to find you

[Chorus]
Leon, the bulb still glows above your sleeping
Dreaming is safe beneath this steady beam
Nothing can touch you while the house is keeping
Leon, you rest inside the gentlest dream

[Verse 2]
Down by the floor the worn thread holds its shape
Years of small footsteps softened where they trod
You are the reason this whole room feels safe
Wrapped in a warmth that asks for nothing odd

[Chorus]
Leon, the bulb still glows above your sleeping
Dreaming is safe beneath this steady beam
Nothing can touch you while the house is keeping
Leon, you rest inside the gentlest dream

[Bridge]
Hush now, the whole wide dark can wait till morning
Nothing will need you until the light returns

[Chorus]
Leon, the bulb still glows above your sleeping
Dreaming is safe beneath this steady beam
Nothing can touch you while the house is keeping
Leon, you rest inside the gentlest dream

[Outro]
Sleep now, the small gold light will keep its station
Watching you rest where the worn carpet lies
