Amber and Still
Style: Kalimba night

[Verse 1]
A soft amber light climbs the roof of the car
Painting the fabric with gold going grey
You watch it float upward, so close and so far
And I hold you gently the whole of the way

[Pre-chorus]
The world goes quiet as the light starts to swim
Your eyes growing heavy, your breathing grows slow
There's nowhere to be now but wrapped soft and warm

[Chorus]
Shirley, my Shirley, the glow says you're safe
Close as the heartbeat that hums where you lay
Nothing can touch you in this gentle place
Shirley, the night keeps you held until day

[Verse 2]
The hum of the engine has turned to a song
Low as a lullaby only you know
You curl in the warmth where you always belong
And the amber light dims as it starts to let go

[Pre-chorus]
The world goes quiet as the light starts to swim
Your eyes growing heavy, your breathing grows slow
There's nowhere to be now but wrapped soft and warm

[Chorus]
Shirley, my Shirley, the glow says you're safe
Close as the heartbeat that hums where you lay
Nothing can touch you in this gentle place
Shirley, the night keeps you held until day

[Bridge]
Sleep now, the glow will keep watch while you rest
Soft on the ceiling, it won't fade away

[Chorus]
Shirley, my Shirley, the glow says you're safe
Close as the heartbeat that hums where you lay
Nothing can touch you in this gentle place
Shirley, the night keeps you held until day

[Outro]
The amber light dims to a hush overhead
Sleep now, my Shirley, the night holds you well
