Orange on the Floor
Style: Rain and piano

[Verse 1]
The lamp outside is painting stripes of orange on the floor
Soft and slow they stretch across the carpet by your bed
Every little shadow here has come to close the door
There is nothing in this room that you should ever dread

[Pre-chorus]
The whole wide street has gone as quiet as a held breath
Nothing moves out there except the light through leaves and glass
So let your busy little day go drifting off to rest

[Chorus]
Max, the night has wrapped its arms around this house tonight
Nothing here will ever come to do you any harm
Rest your head and let the orange glow become your light
Max, you are held here safely, folded in and warm

[Verse 2]
The stripes will slide so slowly that you'll never see them move
They keep such gentle watch above you while you sleep so deep
Nothing out there in the dark has any need to prove
You are the softest, safest thing that this old street will keep

[Chorus]
Max, the night has wrapped its arms around this house tonight
Nothing here will ever come to do you any harm
Rest your head and let the orange glow become your light
Max, you are held here safely, folded in and warm

[Bridge]
Somewhere past the window the whole town is going still
Every light is dimming down to let the dark be kind
Sleep will come as gently as the rain along the sill

[Chorus]
Max, the night has wrapped its arms around this house tonight
Nothing here will ever come to do you any harm
Rest your head and let the orange glow become your light
Max, you are held here safely, folded in and warm

[Outro]
The stripes are fading gently now as morning waits its turn
And you are loved here always, however long you sleep
