Amber Light
Style: Folk cradle song

[Verse 1]
An amber light turns slowly out beyond the window blind
It sweeps across the ceiling and it slips away again
You watch it come and go now with your eyes so heavy lined
I am right here beside you, closer than the midnight rain

[Pre-chorus]
The whole wide world is quiet, every window dark and still
Nothing out there needs you, nothing waits upon the hill
So let your breathing slow now, let your busy hands go still

[Chorus]
Lincoln, close your eyes and let the night come drifting in
Nothing in the dark can touch the love you're wrapped within
Lincoln, you're the calmest thing this tired heart has ever known
Sleep now, little Lincoln, you are never here alone

[Verse 2]
That light will keep on turning long after you have gone to sleep
It doesn't need your watching, it just wanders round and round
You don't have to hold on to a single thing tonight, my sweet
Just let the hush arrive now and settle soft and slow and sound

[Bridge]
Somewhere far off a light keeps turning, patient through the dark
But nothing out there matters more than the small warm shape you are

[Chorus]
Lincoln, close your eyes and let the night come drifting in
Nothing in the dark can touch the love you're wrapped within
Lincoln, you're the calmest thing this tired heart has ever known
Sleep now, little Lincoln, you are never here alone

[Outro]
The amber light still turns beyond the window, soft and slow
Sleep now, you are held here, and you'll always be held so
