Yellow Light Through Red Wool
Style: Celesta and strings

[Verse 1]
Yellow light is leaking soft through threads of red wool tonight
Falling slow across the pillow where your tired head will rest
Every colour in this room is here to hold you right
You are safe inside the hush, you are the whole room blessed

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes and let the lamp keep watch instead of you
Nothing in the dark tonight will come to call your name
Just the quiet, just the warmth, just this light we're leaning into

[Chorus]
Nathaniel, the night is wrapped around you like a blanket
Soft and slow, the way the lamplight falls through gentle red
You are held, you are the calm this whole house has been thanking
Nathaniel, sleep is coming gently, nothing to be said

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past the window, all the stars are keeping still for you
Nothing needs to hurry now, no reason left to wake
The feathers in your pillow move so slowly, breathing too
Every soft thing in this room was gathered for your sake

[Bridge]
Rest your head, the light will stay however long you need
Nothing here will leave before your breathing turns to sleep

[Chorus]
Nathaniel, the night is wrapped around you like a blanket
Soft and slow, the way the lamplight falls through gentle red
You are held, you are the calm this whole house has been thanking
Nathaniel, sleep is coming gently, nothing to be said

[Outro]
Sleep now, while the yellow light still hums along the wool
Rest inside the warmth we saved for you, so calm, so full
