Amber and Still
Style: Glockenspiel

[Verse 1]
The lamp turns the brass switch to gold beside your bed
Old stories are stacked where the warm light will fall
You breathe in the hush that the evening has spread
And nothing tonight is too heavy at all

[Chorus]
Stacey, the dark is a blanket, not a thing to fear
Close your eyes now, Stacey, morning waits its turn
Every soft shadow only means that I am near
You are held here gently while the small lamp burns

[Verse 2]
The pages are quiet, they have nowhere to be
Just like you, love, drifting soft into the night
Nothing will wake you that you need to see
You are wrapped up warm in the low amber light

[Pre-chorus]
Let the hush settle deep into your chest
Let your small hands finally stop holding on
Sleep is only quiet, easing you toward rest

[Chorus]
Stacey, the dark is a blanket, not a thing to fear
Close your eyes now, Stacey, morning waits its turn
Every soft shadow only means that I am near
You are held here gently while the small lamp burns

[Bridge]
Nothing can reach you while this light is on
No need to listen for a single sound
You are the calm that the whole night is built around

[Chorus]
Stacey, the dark is a blanket, not a thing to fear
Close your eyes now, Stacey, morning waits its turn
Every soft shadow only means that I am near
You are held here gently while the small lamp burns

[Outro]
The brass switch glows soft as the old books rest near you
Sleep now, love, the amber light will keep watching over you
