Warm Light, Small Room
Style: Celesta and strings

[Verse 1]
A small warm light is glowing soft beside your blue cotton bed
Its plastic case has gathered all the warmth your breathing spread
Nothing in this room can reach you now, nothing dark or wild
Close your eyes, my quiet one, my Niall, my gentle child

[Pre-chorus]
Every thread upon your blanket holds a little of the glow
Your small chest rises soft and slow, easy as the tide is slow
So let the hush wrap round you now, and let the night unfold

[Chorus]
Niall, the light is holding steady, warm against the tide of dark
Sleep is closer than a mile, closer than a whispered spark
Nothing here will wake you, nothing sharp or loud or wide
Niall, you are the warmest thing this quiet house will hide

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past the window, everything has gone to rest and still
Only this small glow keeps watch, patient on the sill
You don't have to hold on to anything tonight at all
Just let the small light guide you gently, soft and small

[Chorus]
Niall, the light is holding steady, warm against the tide of dark
Sleep is closer than a mile, closer than a whispered spark
Nothing here will wake you, nothing sharp or loud or wide
Niall, you are the warmest thing this quiet house will hide

[Bridge]
Hush now, let the colours dim to blue and soften into grey
Nothing that you carry has to leave with you at day

[Chorus]
Niall, the light is holding steady, warm against the tide of dark
Sleep is closer than a mile, closer than a whispered spark
Nothing here will wake you, nothing sharp or loud or wide
Niall, you are the warmest thing this quiet house will hide

[Outro]
Sleep now, small one, let the little light keep watching over you
Warm against the blue, my Niall, the whole night through
