Wax and Candlelight
Style: Rocking chair waltz

[Verse 1]
A small flame is bending its head toward the table
Soft wax runs down slow like it's telling a fable
Nothing tonight needs to hurry or rise
You're wrapped up as warm as a blanket left stable

[Chorus]
Nova, the candle is low and the room has gone gold
Sleep now, my darling, let go of the day that you hold
Nova, the night wraps around you in petals of clover
You are the warmest thing this house will ever hold

[Verse 2]
Watch how the light pools and settles so slowly
Nothing that flickers tonight could be lonely
Every small shadow just rocks you to rest
Here in this glow you are held fully, wholly

[Pre-chorus]
Hear how the hush leans in closer than breath does
Feel how the dark only softens, it never once presses
Close your eyes now, let the quiet come over

[Chorus]
Nova, the candle is low and the room has gone gold
Sleep now, my darling, let go of the day that you hold
Nova, the night wraps around you in petals of clover
You are the warmest thing this house will ever hold

[Bridge]
Rest easy, the wax will keep dripping so gently
Nothing will wake you, nothing will send you
Sleep is a boat and the table's the water

[Chorus]
Nova, the candle is low and the room has gone gold
Sleep now, my darling, let go of the day that you hold
Nova, the night wraps around you in petals of clover
You are the warmest thing this house will ever hold

[Outro]
The flame will burn down till the table turns quiet
Sleep now, my Nova, and drift on this light
