Yellow Lights, Suzanne
Style: Rocking chair waltz

[Verse 1]
Yellow lights are drifting past the rain upon the glass
Softly blurring into gold as evening settles in
You are warm and you are held while all the daylight passed
There is nowhere you belong but here within this skin

[Pre-chorus]
The fog is on the window but the room is safe and slow
Every little sound outside is turning into hush
Close your eyes and let the night be gentle as it goes

[Chorus]
Sleep now, sleep now, hush, Suzanne, the dark is soft and kind
Nothing here can hurry you, no reason left to rush
Suzanne, my love is steady as the rain against the pane
Rest inside the quiet now, let everything be hushed

[Verse 2]
The lights outside keep swimming gold across the streaking glass
Somewhere far away from here the world moves on its own
But you are wrapped in something warm that always holds you fast
This little room, this steady breath, is all you'll ever known

[Bridge]
Let every flicker fade to grey, let every hour slow
You are the calm behind the rain, the warmth I always know

[Chorus]
Sleep now, sleep now, hush, Suzanne, the dark is soft and kind
Nothing here can hurry you, no reason left to rush
Suzanne, my love is steady as the rain against the pane
Rest inside the quiet now, let everything be hushed

[Outro]
The lights have blurred to nothing now, the rain has gone to sleep
And you are held here, safe and warm, in breathing soft and deep
