Landing Light
Style: Accordion cradle

[Verse 1]
That little bulb above us hums so soft and low tonight
It swings the smallest shadow down the hallway into light
Bare boards beneath our feet are creaking gentle as a sigh
You're held so close there's nothing in this house that isn't right

[Pre-chorus]
Every step we take is slower than the one before
Hush now, let the whole wide world go quiet at the door
I'm carrying you nowhere but to somewhere soft and warm

[Chorus]
Piper, the light is low and you are safe with me
Nothing in this house will wake you, nothing that you need to see
Piper, the night has come to fold you soft and slow
Sleep now, my Piper, there's nowhere warmer you could go

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past that flickering bulb the whole house settles too
Every door is closed and every corner's kept for you
Warm air rises up the stairs to find you where you lie
You don't need to know the dark, I'll watch it in your place

[Chorus]
Piper, the light is low and you are safe with me
Nothing in this house will wake you, nothing that you need to see
Piper, the night has come to fold you soft and slow
Sleep now, my Piper, there's nowhere warmer you could go

[Bridge]
Let your breathing find the rhythm that the old house keeps
Nothing moves but shadow while you slip on down to sleep

[Chorus]
Piper, the light is low and you are safe with me
Nothing in this house will wake you, nothing that you need to see
Piper, the night has come to fold you soft and slow
Sleep now, my Piper, there's nowhere warmer you could go

[Outro]
That small light will keep on glowing gently while you dream
You are held, you are the warmest thing this house has ever seen
