Yellow Square of Light
Style: Cello cradle

[Verse 1]
A yellow square of light falls softly on the wooden floor
it waits there like it's holding on until you're home once more
the whole day settles down and folds its edges in to rest
and you, my darling Reggie, are the part I love the best

[Pre-chorus]
The house breathes slow around you as the corners fade to grey
the light begins to shrink and slip in its unhurried way
so let your shoulders soften now, there's nowhere left to be

[Chorus]
Reggie, Reggie, close your eyes, the dark is soft and kind
let every worry of the day stay somewhere far behind
you are held here safely, wrapped in warmth that will not fade
my Reggie, you are loved right through this quiet that we've made

[Verse 2]
That square of light will still be there when morning comes around
it never truly leaves us, only rests along the ground
and like that patient glow that keeps returning, soft and true
this love of mine stays with you, steady, waiting to hold you

[Pre-chorus]
The house breathes slow around you as the corners fade to grey
the light begins to shrink and slip in its unhurried way
so let your shoulders soften now, there's nowhere left to be

[Chorus]
Reggie, Reggie, close your eyes, the dark is soft and kind
let every worry of the day stay somewhere far behind
you are held here safely, wrapped in warmth that will not fade
my Reggie, you are loved right through this quiet that we've made

[Bridge]
Sleep now, and let the night be gentle, let it hum you low
nothing in this room will wake or worry you, I know
you're the calmest, sweetest weight against this softly breathing home

[Chorus]
Reggie, Reggie, close your eyes, the dark is soft and kind
let every worry of the day stay somewhere far behind
you are held here safely, wrapped in warmth that will not fade
my Reggie, you are loved right through this quiet that we've made

[Outro]
The square of light has gone to sleep along the wooden floor
and you, my Reggie, rest the same, held safe till morning's door
