A Small Light Left On
Style: Gentle acoustic

[Verse 1]
Somewhere down the hall a small light hums so soft and low
Just enough to find the door and know the way back home
It stays awake so you don't have to, watching as you go
And you can close your eyes now, Marion, you're not alone

[Pre-chorus]
Every corner of this house is turning warm and still
The quiet settles gently over windowsill and door
And it's carrying you now toward the hill

[Chorus]
Marion, the night is holding you so close and slow
Every breath you take is safe here, wrapped in gentle glow
You don't have to keep the dark at bay tonight
Marion, just rest, and let the small light show

[Verse 2]
There's a hush that finds the hallway when the whole house sleeps
Soft as socks on wooden floors, it settles where it goes
Nothing sharp or loud can reach you, nothing this house keeps
And under every blanket fold, a warmth that only grows

[Pre-chorus]
Every corner of this house is turning warm and still
The quiet settles gently over windowsill and door
And it's carrying you now toward the hill

[Chorus]
Marion, the night is holding you so close and slow
Every breath you take is safe here, wrapped in gentle glow
You don't have to keep the dark at bay tonight
Marion, just rest, and let the small light show

[Bridge]
Rest your small hands, let them uncurl and fall so slow
Someone's watching over you till morning starts to grow

[Chorus]
Marion, the night is holding you so close and slow
Every breath you take is safe here, wrapped in gentle glow
You don't have to keep the dark at bay tonight
Marion, just rest, and let the small light show

[Outro]
That small light down the hall will keep on humming till the day
And you are held here, Marion, however far you stray
