The Light Comes Round Again
Style: Gentle acoustic

[Verse 1]
There is a light that slips across the curtain, slow and low
It comes and goes and comes again, so quiet in its turn
Nothing in this room will ask you anything tonight
You are the only thing in here I need to learn

[Pre-chorus]
The house breathes soft around you and the dark is turning kind
Let every worry loosen and unwind
Because the safest place tonight is right here in your mind

[Chorus]
Maya, close your eyes now, let the evening carry you
The light will keep on turning while you rest
There is nowhere safer than this quiet room with you
Maya, you are held here, you are blessed

[Verse 2]
Twelve slow seconds and the beam comes sliding back again
Like a small and steady friend who's watching over you
You don't have to count it, you don't have to stay awake
Let it be the only thing that's moving, soft and true

[Bridge]
Whatever the day carried, you can set it down
Sleep will hold you gentler than a crown

[Chorus]
Maya, close your eyes now, let the evening carry you
The light will keep on turning while you rest
There is nowhere safer than this quiet room with you
Maya, you are held here, you are blessed

[Outro]
The light will keep on sweeping long after you have gone to sleep
And I'll be near you, watching, while the quiet hours creep
