Orange Light on the Wall
Style: Kalimba night

[Verse 1]
Outside the lamp is blinking soft and slow across the glass
and somewhere past the curtain all the tired world goes still
wrapped up in wool and warmth you don't need to worry now
rest easy, little one, and let the quiet have its fill

[Pre-chorus]
Every blink outside is dimmer than the last one was
the blanket's folded thick to keep you safe from all that cold
and sleep is coming closer now, so soft you'll hardly know it

[Chorus]
Paisley, close your eyes and let the orange light go dim
you are held here tighter than the blanket's gentle hem
nothing in this whole wide night could ever trouble you
sleep now, Paisley, sleep and drift, there's no place safer than this room

[Verse 2]
Streetlamps hum their quiet colour through the side window pane
painting shapes across the ceiling as they slowly fade
you don't need to understand them, only feel them go
dreaming's just another kind of gentle, wandering parade

[Chorus]
Paisley, close your eyes and let the orange light go dim
you are held here tighter than the blanket's gentle hem
nothing in this whole wide night could ever trouble you
sleep now, Paisley, sleep and drift, there's no place safer than this room

[Bridge]
Let the whole house breathe around you, slow and deep and low
every worry folds up smaller than the wool below

[Chorus]
Paisley, close your eyes and let the orange light go dim
you are held here tighter than the blanket's gentle hem
nothing in this whole wide night could ever trouble you
sleep now, Paisley, sleep and drift, there's no place safer than this room

[Outro]
The lamp outside will keep on blinking gently while you dream
and you'll stay wrapped in warmth till morning finds you, soft and clean
