Yellow on the Grey
Style: Humming choir

[Verse 1]
The lamp is spilling yellow down along the grey carpet floor
Soft as breath it climbs the wooden rail beside your bed
You are curled up warm behind the old familiar door
Nothing in the whole wide dark can touch that golden thread

[Chorus]
Orla, hush now, let the evening hold you close and slow
Every worry of the daylight has already let you go
Orla, feel the quiet settle soft as falling snow
Sleep is just a boat that carries you where dreams will grow

[Verse 2]
The hallway light still leans against the banister so still
Painting one warm stripe across the carpet where you lie
That glow was always yours, it climbs the stairs at your own will
And it will still be waiting there when morning fills the sky

[Pre-chorus]
Somewhere past the window all the stars are keeping time
Somewhere down the hallway that same lamp begins to climb
And here inside this room, the whole wide night is only mine

[Chorus]
Orla, hush now, let the evening hold you close and slow
Every worry of the daylight has already let you go
Orla, feel the quiet settle soft as falling snow
Sleep is just a boat that carries you where dreams will grow

[Bridge]
Rest your head, the house is breathing gently all around
Nothing here will wake before the morning finds its sound

[Chorus]
Orla, hush now, let the evening hold you close and slow
Every worry of the daylight has already let you go
Orla, feel the quiet settle soft as falling snow
Sleep is just a boat that carries you where dreams will grow

[Outro]
The yellow light still falls in one long line across the floor
And you are held inside its warmth till morning's at the door
