Under the Exit Light
Style: Rain and piano

[Verse 1]
The hallway light hums soft above the shining floor tonight
holding back the dark so gently, keeping it polite
every tile below it settles into calm and still
and that small glow will still be burning when you wake up bright

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the hush come pooling round your head
the whole wide house is breathing slow around your little bed
and nothing in the dark tonight can reach you where you lie

[Chorus]
Niamh, the night has folded soft around you like a sleeve
warm and low, it holds you closer than you could believe
nothing here will stir or wander, nothing here will leave
just rest, Niamh, and let this quiet weave

[Verse 2]
Somewhere down the corridor a door breathes shut and still
shadows lean like old friends resting on the windowsill
the floor gives back a little shine to guide you if you stir
but you won't need to wander, you have everything you need until

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the hush come pooling round your head
the whole wide house is breathing slow around your little bed
and nothing in the dark tonight can reach you where you lie

[Chorus]
Niamh, the night has folded soft around you like a sleeve
warm and low, it holds you closer than you could believe
nothing here will stir or wander, nothing here will leave
just rest, Niamh, and let this quiet weave

[Bridge]
Every small light left burning is a promise kept for you
a steady little watchman standing guard the whole night through

[Chorus]
Niamh, the night has folded soft around you like a sleeve
warm and low, it holds you closer than you could believe
nothing here will stir or wander, nothing here will leave
just rest, Niamh, and let this quiet weave

[Outro]
The hallway light still glows above the quiet shining floor
sleep on, and know that someone's watching by your door
