Amber and Still
Style: Clarinet nightlight

[Verse 1]
Amber light is spilling soft across the wallpaper's gold
Warming every wooden corner of the crib you hold
Nothing in this room is asking you to be awake
Rest is all the night has planned, and rest is yours to take

[Pre-chorus]
Somewhere past the window the whole wide world grows dim
Nothing out there matters more than this small room within
Close your eyes now, let the quiet carry you between

[Chorus]
Maureen, the light is low and gold and holding you serene
Sleep now, little Maureen, safe in amber, safe unseen
Nothing here will wake you, nothing here has ever been unkind
Maureen, you are the warmest thing this house will ever find

[Verse 2]
Shadows move so slowly on the yellow wall tonight
Soft as breathing, soft as anything that means no fright
You are wrapped in something steadier than any lullaby
Wooden walls around you, amber ceiling for a sky

[Chorus]
Maureen, the light is low and gold and holding you serene
Sleep now, little Maureen, safe in amber, safe unseen
Nothing here will wake you, nothing here has ever been unkind
Maureen, you are the warmest thing this house will ever find

[Bridge]
Hush now, there is nowhere else you need to be
Just this glow, this quiet, this small eternity

[Chorus]
Maureen, the light is low and gold and holding you serene
Sleep now, little Maureen, safe in amber, safe unseen
Nothing here will wake you, nothing here has ever been unkind
Maureen, you are the warmest thing this house will ever find

[Outro]
Sleep now, the wallpaper still holds its gentle gold
Maureen, you are the safest thing this small room ever told
