Light Along the Ceiling
Style: Gentle acoustic

[Verse 1]
Watch the light slide gently over the roof above your bed
Sweeping soft and slow like something breathing in the dark
Nothing in this room will ever come to touch your head
You are held here safer than a candle held by its spark

[Chorus]
Safa, close your eyes now, let the quiet carry you
Every little worry fades before the night is through
Safa, you are cradled in the calm the dark lets through
Sleep is just another way that love keeps holding you

[Verse 2]
The lamplight sweeps so steady like a hand that pats your back
Passing over shadows that could never do you harm
Nothing waits outside tonight along that quiet track
Only stillness settling soft around your sleeping arm

[Pre-chorus]
Let your breathing slow to match the hush that fills the room
Feel the warmth around you gathering like evening into bloom
Rest is coming closer, soft and sure, to take you home

[Chorus]
Safa, close your eyes now, let the quiet carry you
Every little worry fades before the night is through
Safa, you are cradled in the calm the dark lets through
Sleep is just another way that love keeps holding you

[Bridge]
No need to watch the window, no need to count the hours
Somebody stays beside you while the whole wide dark is yours

[Chorus]
Safa, close your eyes now, let the quiet carry you
Every little worry fades before the night is through
Safa, you are cradled in the calm the dark lets through
Sleep is just another way that love keeps holding you

[Outro]
The light will keep on sweeping gently over that same roof
While you drift off knowing you were always loved, that's proof
