Amber and Slow
Style: Cello cradle

[Verse 1]
Dust is turning slowly in the last light through the room
gold and quiet, drifting down like it has nowhere to go
and you are curled so easy where that soft glow leans
the whole wide day is folding into you like a cocoon

[Chorus]
Milo, the evening's holding you so tender and so near
every breath you're taking says there's nothing left to fear
rest inside the quiet, let it carry you tonight
Milo, you're the softest thing this house has ever held here

[Verse 2]
Little hands gone heavy now, they've given up the fight
fingers loosening slowly like they're letting go of light
you don't have to hold on, nothing here will drift away
stay just as you are and let the warmth win out tonight

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, nothing calling you but sleep and steady arms
nothing but the dimming gold and all its gentle charms
so let your eyes grow softer as the hush begins to grow

[Chorus]
Milo, the evening's holding you so tender and so near
every breath you're taking says there's nothing left to fear
rest inside the quiet, let it carry you tonight
Milo, you're the softest thing this house has ever held here

[Bridge]
Somewhere past the window all the noise is turning still
only you are breathing slow beneath this golden spill
nothing in the whole wide world could love you half as much

[Chorus]
Milo, the evening's holding you so tender and so near
every breath you're taking says there's nothing left to fear
rest inside the quiet, let it carry you tonight
Milo, you're the softest thing this house has ever held here

[Outro]
Sleep now while the light keeps turning soft and slow above you
you were always held like this, and always will be, Milo
