A Small Yellow Beam
Style: Soft piano

[Verse 1]
A small yellow beam slips across the pillow folds tonight
Finding you where you are curled up safe and warm and right
The dark room holds its breath and settles soft around your head
Nothing here will stir until the morning light instead

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes and let the hush come drifting slowly in
Every worry of the day is far too small to win
Let the quiet gather round you like a gentle held out hand

[Chorus]
Samantha, sleep is coming soft to carry you away
Rest your head, there's nothing waiting louder than the day
Samantha, let the light beside you fade to gold and grey
In this small and steady dark, you're held here safe to stay

[Verse 2]
The folds above you dip and glow where that thin beam has crossed
Nothing precious in this room was ever nearly lost
Every breath you take tonight is counted soft and slow
You are the warmest thing this quiet corner comes to know

[Chorus]
Samantha, sleep is coming soft to carry you away
Rest your head, there's nothing waiting louder than the day
Samantha, let the light beside you fade to gold and grey
In this small and steady dark, you're held here safe to stay

[Bridge]
Sleep can hold you gentler than any word I say
Let the small light watch you while the hours ease away

[Chorus]
Samantha, sleep is coming soft to carry you away
Rest your head, there's nothing waiting louder than the day
Samantha, let the light beside you fade to gold and grey
In this small and steady dark, you're held here safe to stay

[Outro]
That small yellow beam will still be waiting when you wake
Sleep now, love is all this quiet room will ever make
