Yellow Light on the Stairs
Style: Gentle acoustic

[Verse 1]
Yellow light is falling soft across the old bare floor
Somewhere up above you floorboards creak and settle down
Every little sound tonight is one you don't need to fear
Because you are the safest thing in all this sleepy town

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes and let the hush come find you where you lie
The house is breathing slow around you, warm from wall to wall
And nothing in the dark tonight would ever say goodbye

[Chorus]
Louis, Louis, rest your head and let the night be true, this
Love was always yours before you ever learned to ask
You are held so gently, closer than you know, Louis
Sleep now, you are cradled soft, you're safe inside the dark

[Verse 2]
The stairs are quiet now, the light has dimmed to amber gold
No need to count the steps tonight, no need to be alone
This little corner of the world was always yours to hold
And every creak above you is a sound that calls you home

[Chorus]
Louis, Louis, rest your head and let the night be true, this
Love was always yours before you ever learned to ask
You are held so gently, closer than you know, Louis
Sleep now, you are cradled soft, you're safe inside the dark

[Bridge]
Let the warm light hold you while the whole wide house grows still
Nothing here will wake you, nothing here can do you harm

[Chorus]
Louis, Louis, rest your head and let the night be true, this
Love was always yours before you ever learned to ask
You are held so gently, closer than you know, Louis
Sleep now, you are cradled soft, you're safe inside the dark

[Outro]
The light still falls in yellow lines across the sleeping floor
And you are dreaming softly now, held safe behind the door
