Yellow Beam
Style: Ambient wash

[Verse 1]
A yellow beam is sweeping slowly over the foam tonight
It touches every wave before it folds and fades from view
There is nowhere calmer for you to rest than here
So let the gentle water carry all its hush to you

[Chorus]
Omar, the night is holding you like something precious and rare
Close your eyes now, let the dark be soft as any star
You never have to wonder if somebody's near or far
Sleep, little Omar, you are loved wherever you are

[Verse 2]
The light moves slow across the water, never in a rush
It knows that you are settling deeper into hush
Nothing in this quiet night could ever pull you far
You are the warmest corner of this whole and turning star

[Pre-chorus]
Breathe slow now, let your small hands finally uncurl
Every wave that breaks tonight is breaking soft for you
The dark is only night, and night was always kind

[Chorus]
Omar, the night is holding you like something precious and rare
Close your eyes now, let the dark be soft as any star
You never have to wonder if somebody's near or far
Sleep, little Omar, you are loved wherever you are

[Bridge]
Somewhere the tide is turning, slow and sure and true
And every turning tide tonight is turning back to you

[Chorus]
Omar, the night is holding you like something precious and rare
Close your eyes now, let the dark be soft as any star
You never have to wonder if somebody's near or far
Sleep, little Omar, you are loved wherever you are

[Outro]
The beam still sweeps so slowly over the foam tonight
Sleep now, you are held here, safe and warm and right
