Warm as the Candle
Style: Rocking chair waltz

[Verse 1]
The candle leans slow as the wax rolls down its side
and pools in the brass like a warm and patient tide
I watch the flame settle, I watch your eyes grow deep
this is the hour the whole wide world falls asleep

[Pre-chorus]
The house breathes quiet, the shadows start to sway
hold on to my hand as the light begins to fray
there's nothing to fear now, so let your worry go

[Chorus]
Summer, my Summer, the night is soft and slow
Summer, you're steady as the candle's gentle glow
warm as the wax that never learns to hurry
you don't need to wander, you don't need to worry

[Verse 2]
The saucer holds the dripping like it holds a secret song
something old and steady that has waited all along
I'll keep the small flame burning till your breathing turns to rest
holding what I love the most so close against my chest

[Chorus]
Summer, my Summer, the night is soft and slow
Summer, you're steady as the candle's gentle glow
warm as the wax that never learns to hurry
you don't need to wander, you don't need to worry

[Bridge]
Every little flicker is a promise made in light
that you are always cherished, every single night
sleep now, little steady one, there's nothing you must do

[Chorus]
Summer, my Summer, the night is soft and slow
Summer, you're steady as the candle's gentle glow
warm as the wax that never learns to hurry
you don't need to wander, you don't need to worry

[Outro]
The candle burns low now, its light grown soft and small
and you are the warmest thing that I know at all
