The Small Light on the Floor
Style: Soft piano

[Verse 1]
The landing is dark but one small light is glowing
and that is enough to keep the shadows from growing
you settle in deep where the blankets are curled
and you are the calmest thing in all of this world

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the whole house go quiet
the walls are just walls and there's nothing to fight
I'm right here still while the night settles in

[Chorus]
Rory, my Rory, the light stays on for you
soft on the floor where the hallway leads you through
nothing can reach you, nothing can touch this room
you are so loved in the hush of this quiet gloom

[Verse 2]
Somewhere a clock is ticking slow and low
marking the hours with nowhere to go
you don't need to know what the morning will bring
just rest in the dark like it's holding you in

[Chorus]
Rory, my Rory, the light stays on for you
soft on the floor where the hallway leads you through
nothing can reach you, nothing can touch this room
you are so loved in the hush of this quiet gloom

[Bridge]
Even the dark can be gentle and kind
when someone who loves you is watching close by
sleep isn't far and it's soft when it comes

[Chorus]
Rory, my Rory, the light stays on for you
soft on the floor where the hallway leads you through
nothing can reach you, nothing can touch this room
you are so loved in the hush of this quiet gloom

[Outro]
The little light still glows on the floor by the door
and you are so loved, you don't need to know more
