Headlights on the Wall
Style: Accordion cradle

[Verse 1]
A soft light slides across the wall and finds you where you lie
I watch it cross your quiet face and hum a low lullaby
The wooden slats are cool and still beside the frosted glass
But you are warm inside my arms and safe as hours pass

[Pre-chorus]
Every car that passes by is only passing through
Nothing out there in the dark can ever trouble you
So let your breathing slow right down, there's nothing left to do

[Chorus]
Stella, Stella, close your eyes and let the night grow still
Rest against me, little one, I'll keep you from the chill
Stella, hear how quiet now the whole wide house has grown
You are held here, you are safe here, never once alone

[Verse 2]
The frost is drawing patterns slow across the window pane
While you are drifting far away from anything like pain
I trace the shape of your small hand and marvel at your rest
Of all the lights that ever glowed, you are the warmest, best

[Chorus]
Stella, Stella, close your eyes and let the night grow still
Rest against me, little one, I'll keep you from the chill
Stella, hear how quiet now the whole wide house has grown
You are held here, you are safe here, never once alone

[Bridge]
Somewhere far a car rolls on to somewhere far from here
But you are staying right with me, there's nothing you need fear
Let the glow slide over us and settle soft as snow

[Chorus]
Stella, Stella, close your eyes and let the night grow still
Rest against me, little one, I'll keep you from the chill
Stella, hear how quiet now the whole wide house has grown
You are held here, you are safe here, never once alone

[Outro]
The light has slipped away now and left the wall in grey
But you are safe inside my arms until the break of day
