The Yellow Light on the Stair
Style: Soft piano

[Verse 1]
The yellow light on the stair hums low and small tonight
and shadows stretch on the wallpaper, soft and out of sight
they mean you never harm, only shapes that gently sway
I'll stay until they settle and everything feels right

[Chorus]
Sian, Sian, close your eyes now, let the hush come in
there's nowhere safer than this room where your dreaming can begin
hold my hand a moment longer, feel how calm we can
the whole wide night is quiet, Sian, just to keep you warm within

[Verse 2]
The buzzing bulb upon the landing hums a sleepy little song
it doesn't mind the dark around it, doesn't stay for long
it just keeps watch a little while so you can drift and rest
and I'll be right beside you, love, all the whole night long

[Pre-chorus]
Let the hallway light burn low and easy while the house breathes slow
let the shadows on the wall lie still with nowhere left to go
and let your breathing find the rhythm that will carry you

[Chorus]
Sian, Sian, close your eyes now, let the hush come in
there's nowhere safer than this room where your dreaming can begin
hold my hand a moment longer, feel how calm we can
the whole wide night is quiet, Sian, just to keep you warm within

[Bridge]
Nothing in this house can touch you while I'm sitting near
every little sound outside dissolves before it's here

[Chorus]
Sian, Sian, close your eyes now, let the hush come in
there's nowhere safer than this room where your dreaming can begin
hold my hand a moment longer, feel how calm we can
the whole wide night is quiet, Sian, just to keep you warm within

[Outro]
The yellow light will hum till morning, watching soft and slow
sleep now, Sian, you are held here, safe in all I know
