Circle of Light
Style: Ambient wash

[Verse 1]
One yellow lamp is glowing soft on the empty street below
It holds its little circle steady against the dark and cold
You are the warmest light that this quiet house will ever know
And every corner settles once you are here to have and hold

[Pre-chorus]
The whole wide night is turning slow and gentle round your bed
Hush now, let the hours grow softer as they drift and spread
There is a calm that's waiting just to wrap around your head

[Chorus]
Nyla, the dark is only a blanket pulled up to your chin
Nothing can touch you here where the quiet has let you in
Nyla, you're held the way that lamplight holds the walking pin
Close your eyes now, love is the warmth that you're breathing in

[Verse 2]
The lamp does not need company to keep its watch till dawn
But you are never left to face the shadows on your own
Somewhere a small light waits for you however far you've gone
And it will burn there steady until the morning light has grown

[Chorus]
Nyla, the dark is only a blanket pulled up to your chin
Nothing can touch you here where the quiet has let you in
Nyla, you're held the way that lamplight holds the walking pin
Close your eyes now, love is the warmth that you're breathing in

[Bridge]
Sleep can be soft as a coat that someone wraps around your frame
Rest now, there is nothing waiting that could ever dim your name

[Chorus]
Nyla, the dark is only a blanket pulled up to your chin
Nothing can touch you here where the quiet has let you in
Nyla, you're held the way that lamplight holds the walking pin
Close your eyes now, love is the warmth that you're breathing in

[Outro]
Somewhere that lamp still glows its circle soft upon the ground
And you are held the same way, gently, safely, all around
