Yellow Light on Red Cotton
Style: Music box

[Verse 1]
Yellow light is creeping soft along the wooden frame tonight
Red cotton folds around you like it's keeping all the warmth
The house has gone to whispers and the hallway holds its breath
You're wrapped in something gentle that will carry you through dawn

[Chorus]
Stella, close your eyes now, let the quiet carry you
Nobody in this whole wide world is loved the way you are
Stella, the dark is soft here, nothing sharp can find you
Sleep is just another way of knowing you're this loved

[Verse 2]
The frame beneath you creaks so slow it sounds like it is humming
Somewhere past the window all the stars are settling in too
Nothing in this room would ever let a shadow near you
You are the reason all this yellow light was ever lit

[Pre-chorus]
Feel how slow the evening breathes around this little bed
Nothing here will hurry you, no reason to be far
Just the light, the red, the warmth, and you, drifting toward

[Chorus]
Stella, close your eyes now, let the quiet carry you
Nobody in this whole wide world is loved the way you are
Stella, the dark is soft here, nothing sharp can find you
Sleep is just another way of knowing you're this loved

[Bridge]
Let the small light stay however long you need it to
Someone's always near enough to keep it burning low

[Chorus]
Stella, close your eyes now, let the quiet carry you
Nobody in this whole wide world is loved the way you are
Stella, the dark is soft here, nothing sharp can find you
Sleep is just another way of knowing you're this loved

[Outro]
The yellow light will keep on leaking soft through red and wood
Sleep now, Stella, you are held in every bit of good
