Yellow Ticket Light
Style: Vibraphone drift

[Verse 1]
Warm little stubs of yellow slide the glass so slow tonight
the radiator hums a tune that only knows one line
fog blooms across the window like a breath held soft and long
you're wrapped in every colour that the lamplight has to give

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the ticking of the pipes become your song
nothing in this room can reach you, nothing sharp or wrong
close your eyes and drift where all the golden light is going

[Chorus]
Saoirse, the window's breathing slow and warm above your head
Saoirse, the whole wide night has settled into bed
fiercer than the cold outside, this love that holds you here
sleep now, little Saoirse, there is nothing left to dread

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past the glass the streets are folding into grey
but here the radiator keeps the small dark hours at bay
yellow stubs are sliding down like slow forgotten stars
you are held so closely nothing far can find its way

[Bridge]
Rest your head where all the warmth has gathered just for you
let the fog erase the world until there's only two

[Chorus]
Saoirse, the window's breathing slow and warm above your head
Saoirse, the whole wide night has settled into bed
fiercer than the cold outside, this love that holds you here
sleep now, little Saoirse, there is nothing left to dread

[Outro]
The yellow light still slides so soft above the radiator's hum
sleep now, you are held, and morning waits till you are done
