The Light Keeps Turning
Style: Music box

[Verse 1]
A soft white beam is turning slowly round the old stone wall
It brushes past so gently, never hurried, never loud
And every time it passes it is calling out your name
Lorenzo, you are wrapped in warmth beneath this quiet cloud

[Pre-chorus]
The tower hums a little tune it's hummed for years and years
Your breathing finds the rhythm as the light begins to fall
So let your small hands settle while the hush of night draws near

[Chorus]
Lorenzo, the light will find you soft as anything can be
Round and round it circles, never leaving you alone
Nothing in the dark tonight will come and trouble your sleep
Lorenzo, you are held here safe as stone

[Verse 2]
The beam moves like a whisper, sliding easy over grey
It never asks you questions, never needs a single word
Just settles on your eyelids like a hand laid soft and slow
And you are the calmest thing that this old tower's ever heard

[Chorus]
Lorenzo, the light will find you soft as anything can be
Round and round it circles, never leaving you alone
Nothing in the dark tonight will come and trouble your sleep
Lorenzo, you are held here safe as stone

[Bridge]
Rest now while the walls stand quiet, keeping watch the whole night through
There is nowhere you are needed but this soft and sleepy room

[Chorus]
Lorenzo, the light will find you soft as anything can be
Round and round it circles, never leaving you alone
Nothing in the dark tonight will come and trouble your sleep
Lorenzo, you are held here safe as stone

[Outro]
The beam will keep on turning long after you have closed your eyes
Sleep now, small Lorenzo, safe inside these old stone walls
