Amber and Still
Style: Soft piano

[Verse 1]
Watch the amber climb so slowly up the stripes tonight
Softly up the wall it goes, a quiet kind of light
You are wrapped in blankets warm and heavy with the day
Every worry you were holding melts and drifts away

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the house grow quiet, let your breathing slow
Close your eyes and feel the warmth begin to gently flow
Sleep is waiting just beyond the glow

[Chorus]
Sydney, sleep beneath the amber light
Nothing here will trouble you tonight
Safe and warm, so quietly you lie
Sydney, drifting soft as any sigh

[Verse 2]
Down below the handrail waits so white and calm and still
Painted years ago by someone who would keep you safe
Nobody will move it while you rest here in this room
Sleep will hold you gently till the morning comes for you

[Chorus]
Sydney, sleep beneath the amber light
Nothing here will trouble you tonight
Safe and warm, so quietly you lie
Sydney, drifting soft as any sigh

[Bridge]
Bide with me a little longer, let the hours go slow
Rest here where the gentle colours softly, softly glow

[Chorus]
Sydney, sleep beneath the amber light
Nothing here will trouble you tonight
Safe and warm, so quietly you lie
Sydney, drifting soft as any sigh

[Outro]
The amber fades but leaves its warmth still on the wall
Sleep well, little one, for someone watches over all
