Soft Lights, Marvin
Style: Folk cradle song

[Verse 1]
The dashboard glows so softly onto two small buckled straps
holding you so gently through the dark and quiet gaps
nothing in this whole wide night can ever come to harm you
while the small light hums and hushes, tucked in safe at last

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes, the road is humming low and slow tonight
every mile is wrapped in warmth, every star is holding tight
and the quiet keeps on calling you to drift and drift so light

[Chorus]
Marvin, the whole night curls around you soft and warm
nothing out there in the dark can ever bring you harm
you are the sweetest reason every light stays low and calm
Marvin, you are held here safer than a seed in garden loam

[Verse 2]
The little straps are holding you the way that we are holding you
two small buckles glowing gold like something old and true
you don't need to know the distance, only that you're carried through
sleep can come now, easy, like the hush the evening's charming

[Chorus]
Marvin, the whole night curls around you soft and warm
nothing out there in the dark can ever bring you harm
you are the sweetest reason every light stays low and calm
Marvin, you are held here safer than a seed in garden loam

[Bridge]
Rest now, let the hum below you carry all you carry
nothing you must hold tonight, no reason to feel wary
you are loved beyond the reach of any dark or starving cold

[Chorus]
Marvin, the whole night curls around you soft and warm
nothing out there in the dark can ever bring you harm
you are the sweetest reason every light stays low and calm
Marvin, you are held here safer than a seed in garden loam

[Outro]
Sleep now, small light, the buckles glow to say you're near
close your eyes, the whole wide night has softened, love, right here
