Small Green Light
Style: Celesta and strings

[Verse 1]
Somewhere behind the door a small green light is glowing
quiet as breath, so soft it barely needs knowing
it watches over shadows while the whole house rests
and I am watching too, with you against my chest

[Pre-chorus]
Nothing tonight can reach you here, nothing can call you back
the dark outside has softened, and the wind has lost its track
so let your fingers loosen and let your worries slack

[Chorus]
Sylvia, sleep is a warm room only you can enter
hold onto nothing, just drift toward the centre
the whole wide night is folding gently round your name
Sylvia, you are loved the same, you are always loved the same

[Verse 2]
Once I watched that little light for hours while you were small
learning your breathing, learning the hush before it falls
and even now I listen for that same slow tide
knowing you are safe and knowing I am close beside

[Bridge]
Every glow gets dimmer as the good night settles in
let it dim around you, let the stillness begin

[Chorus]
Sylvia, sleep is a warm room only you can enter
hold onto nothing, just drift toward the centre
the whole wide night is folding gently round your name
Sylvia, you are loved the same, you are always loved the same

[Outro]
That small green light will still be glowing when you wake
and I'll still be here, keeping watch for your sake
