Yellow Light
Style: Cello cradle

[Verse 1]
Yellow light is creeping soft through the wool above your head
Warm and slow it settles down like honey on the bed
Everything is quiet now, every worry gone instead
Close your eyes, my darling one, there's nothing left to dread

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the evening fold around you soft and slow
Feel the warmth that's gathered here from all the light we know
Sleep is coming gentle now, so let it come and go

[Chorus]
Lilah, Lilah, close your eyes and drift away with me
Nothing in the dark tonight is anything to see
You are held here safe and warm as warm as warm can be
Lilah, you're the calmest thing this house will ever be

[Verse 2]
Blankets hang like sleepy clouds all heavy soft and low
Catching up the lamplight gold and letting it slow glow
You are wrapped in something kind that only you would know
Rest here now beneath it all and let the whole world go

[Chorus]
Lilah, Lilah, close your eyes and drift away with me
Nothing in the dark tonight is anything to see
You are held here safe and warm as warm as warm can be
Lilah, you're the calmest thing this house will ever be

[Bridge]
Every little breath you take is safe within these walls
Sleep will hold you gentle now till morning slowly calls

[Chorus]
Lilah, Lilah, close your eyes and drift away with me
Nothing in the dark tonight is anything to see
You are held here safe and warm as warm as warm can be
Lilah, you're the calmest thing this house will ever be

[Outro]
Somewhere still that yellow light is glowing soft and slow
Sleep now, Lilah, you are loved wherever dreams may go
