The Lamp Burns Low for You
Style: Music box

[Verse 1]
A little moth beats soft against the shade tonight
circling round and round the lamp's low golden light
it only wants to rest inside that gentle glow
the way you rest right here, the safest place I know

[Chorus]
Spencer, Spencer, close your eyes and drift away
every worry of the world can wait another day
you are held and you are warm and you are loved so true
Spencer, the whole wide night is turning soft for you

[Verse 2]
The little wings grow slower as the glass turns dim
settling on the warmth the way you settle into him
no, into this quiet, into arms that hold you tight
there is nowhere safer than right here tonight

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the lamp is low and honey coloured too
the moth has found its rest and folded up its wings
and something in this quiet is reaching out for you

[Chorus]
Spencer, Spencer, close your eyes and drift away
every worry of the world can wait another day
you are held and you are warm and you are loved so true
Spencer, the whole wide night is turning soft for you

[Bridge]
Sleep is just a small room where the light burns kind
nothing sharp can follow you, nothing left behind
only breathing, only warmth, only this slow hum
carrying you gently to wherever morning comes

[Chorus]
Spencer, Spencer, close your eyes and drift away
every worry of the world can wait another day
you are held and you are warm and you are loved so true
Spencer, the whole wide night is turning soft for you

[Outro]
The lamp has dimmed to embers and the moth has gone to rest
and you are curled up golden in the warmth I love the best
