Amber and Autumn
Style: Cello cradle

[Verse 1]
Softly the little lamp is burning low beside your bed
A torn old shade lets amber spill in secret through the tear
You watch it flicker like a friend who nods its sleepy head
Nothing in this whole wide house could ever bring you fear

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes and let the amber hold you soft and slow
Breathe the warmth that fills this room from ceiling down to floor
Sleep is waiting just beyond the door

[Chorus]
Tatum, hush now, let the light stay 'em, all your worries still
Rest here where the glow won't ever fade away or spill
You are held by every corner of this warm and gentle hill
Tatum, dream in colours soft as autumn on the sill

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past the window night is pulling on its heavy coat
Yet inside this little room the amber keeps you safe and near
Quiet as a lullaby that hums without a single note
Sleep will carry you so gently, nothing else to hear

[Chorus]
Tatum, hush now, let the light stay 'em, all your worries still
Rest here where the glow won't ever fade away or spill
You are held by every corner of this warm and gentle hill
Tatum, dream in colours soft as autumn on the sill

[Bridge]
Even torn things still can hold a light that never ends
Even small rooms still can cradle you like closest friends

[Chorus]
Tatum, hush now, let the light stay 'em, all your worries still
Rest here where the glow won't ever fade away or spill
You are held by every corner of this warm and gentle hill
Tatum, dream in colours soft as autumn on the sill

[Outro]
Sleep now, while the amber keeps its watch through paper thin and torn
Morning holds you just as gently as this night has, until dawn
