Blue Wax, Slow Light
Style: Rain and piano

[Verse 1]
A small blue flame is leaning low and soft against the dark
its wax runs down and pools inside the silver saucer's mark
you watch it drift the way your breathing settles into rest
and every little sigh you make is one I love the best

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the light burn slower than a sleepy tune
let your eyes grow heavy like the shadows on the room
and drift a little further toward the hush that's calling you

[Chorus]
Ottilie, the candle dims but you are held and warm
sleep is just a gentle boat that carries you from harm
Ottilie, I'll watch the wax curl soft around the rim
while you go sailing off to sleep on nothing but a whim

[Verse 2]
The saucer holds the melted blue like water holds the moon
you curl up small and certain like a bud before it's bloomed
nothing in this quiet house would ever let you fall
I'm here to catch you gently if the dark feels far too tall

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the light burn slower than a sleepy tune
let your eyes grow heavy like the shadows on the room
and drift a little further toward the hush that's calling you

[Chorus]
Ottilie, the candle dims but you are held and warm
sleep is just a gentle boat that carries you from harm
Ottilie, I'll watch the wax curl soft around the rim
while you go sailing off to sleep on nothing but a whim

[Bridge]
Rain is tapping soft against the glass to sing you low
piano notes are falling slow like light I won't let go
you are safe inside this small and steady glow

[Chorus]
Ottilie, the candle dims but you are held and warm
sleep is just a gentle boat that carries you from harm
Ottilie, I'll watch the wax curl soft around the rim
while you go sailing off to sleep on nothing but a whim

[Outro]
The last blue drop has settled still inside its silver ring
and you have found the quiet place where only dreaming sings
