Amber Light, Little Tom
Style: Ambient wash

[Verse 1]
The little bulb glows soft and amber above the old handrail
Its warm light spills so gently down the hallway like a veil
Every shadow in this house has learned to hold quite still
Rest now under all that quiet, close your eyes, my calm little Tom

[Pre-chorus]
Somewhere past that amber glow the whole wide world goes softer
Your breathing slows to match the hush that settles on the rafter
Let the warmth pull you gently down where sleep is waiting

[Chorus]
Tom, the light is low and easy, watching over you tonight
Nothing needs to hurry now beneath that amber light
Every corner of this house is wrapped in gold and calm
Sleep on, sleep on, my darling Tom, you're safe here in my arms

[Verse 2]
The handrail holds the quiet like it's holding up the ceiling
Somewhere down below the hush is warm and slow and healing
Nothing in this night will ask you to be anything but still
Drift now on that golden hush, my steady, sleepy Tom

[Bridge]
Let the glow keep watch a while so you don't have to
Sleep is just another room where I am with you

[Chorus]
Tom, the light is low and easy, watching over you tonight
Nothing needs to hurry now beneath that amber light
Every corner of this house is wrapped in gold and calm
Sleep on, sleep on, my darling Tom, you're safe here in my arms

[Outro]
The little bulb still glows above the handrail, soft and slow
Sleep now, gentle Tom, wherever dreams decide to go
