Green Light, Soft Static
Style: Vibraphone drift

[Verse 1]
A small green light is humming low behind the cloth
keeping its quiet company while the house breathes soft
the static hushes down into a slow and even tide
and you are held here safer than a candle in a moth

[Pre-chorus]
The dial glows the colour of the last calm hour
nothing needs to happen now, nothing needs more
just this warm and folding dark, just this drifting door

[Chorus]
Ottilie, the night has come to carry you along
Ottilie, you're wrapped inside its low and steady song
the whole wide world has quieted its worry and its roar
just for you, Ottilie, so soft it can't go wrong

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past the static there's a voice too far to name
but it hums the way the tide hums, always just the same
and you don't need to answer it, you don't need to try
you can rest inside the hush like rain upon a pane

[Pre-chorus]
The dial glows the colour of the last calm hour
nothing needs to happen now, nothing needs more
just this warm and folding dark, just this drifting door

[Chorus]
Ottilie, the night has come to carry you along
Ottilie, you're wrapped inside its low and steady song
the whole wide world has quieted its worry and its roar
just for you, Ottilie, so soft it can't go wrong

[Bridge]
Let the small green light be all the light you need tonight
let the hush be just a blanket, softly tucked and tight
you are so completely loved you couldn't ever doubt it
sleep now, nothing in the dark could ever be about it

[Chorus]
Ottilie, the night has come to carry you along
Ottilie, you're wrapped inside its low and steady song
the whole wide world has quieted its worry and its roar
just for you, Ottilie, so soft it can't go wrong

[Outro]
The green light dims but stays, still humming soft and low
and you sleep on inside it, safe wherever dreams may go
