Small Light, Steady
Style: Kalimba night

[Verse 1]
A small yellow glow leans its light on the ceiling tonight
Soft folds of the quilt catch it gently and hold it like light
Your breathing has slowed to the hush that the evening allows
Sleep is already curling in close underneath your closed brows

[Pre-chorus]
Every shadow up there has gone soft and gone still
Nothing in this room means you any kind of ill
So let the glow carry you where the quiet things spill

[Chorus]
Preston, the dark has got nowhere to go but kind
Rest on the hush that the whole house has designed
Preston, you're held here, no reason to fear
Sleep can come closer, there's nothing but calm near

[Verse 2]
Somewhere above you the light keeps its slow steady beam
Quiet as breath, it just watches and lets you dream
You don't have to hold on to anything but rest
Let the whole weight of the day settle soft on your chest

[Chorus]
Preston, the dark has got nowhere to go but kind
Rest on the hush that the whole house has designed
Preston, you're held here, no reason to fear
Sleep can come closer, there's nothing but calm near

[Bridge]
Nothing is asked of you now, only breathe and be still
Nestled in blankets, you're safe on this warm little sill

[Chorus]
Preston, the dark has got nowhere to go but kind
Rest on the hush that the whole house has designed
Preston, you're held here, no reason to fear
Sleep can come closer, there's nothing but calm near

[Outro]
That small yellow glow will keep watch till the morning is due
Sleep now, my Preston, the whole quiet night belongs to you
