Yellow Light in the Hall
Style: Rain and piano

[Verse 1]
A thin gold line comes creeping underneath your door tonight
It finds the pattern on the carpet and it turns it bright
You watch it settle on the flowers woven in the floor
Safe inside this little room with nothing to be scared for

[Chorus]
Valerie, the light is low and everything is kind
Close your eyes, there's nowhere else you're meant to be tonight
Nobody's counting up the hours, nobody's in a rush
Valerie, my Valerie, just breathe now and hush

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past that door the whole house settles into rest
Every creaking floorboard tucking in just like the rest
You are the quiet centre where the warm light comes to lay
There's nothing in the shadows, only softness on display

[Pre-chorus]
Hold on to how it feels to be this warm and this small
Let every worry from the day just slip and gently fall
There's one more song before the dark comes soft to take it all

[Chorus]
Valerie, the light is low and everything is kind
Close your eyes, there's nowhere else you're meant to be tonight
Nobody's counting up the hours, nobody's in a rush
Valerie, my Valerie, just breathe now and hush

[Bridge]
Rain is tapping soft against the window like a friend
Piano notes are folding into silence at the end
Nothing has to happen now, nothing has to start
You are held here fully, right at the centre of a heart

[Chorus]
Valerie, the light is low and everything is kind
Close your eyes, there's nowhere else you're meant to be tonight
Nobody's counting up the hours, nobody's in a rush
Valerie, my Valerie, just breathe now and hush

[Outro]
That thin gold line will still be waiting there when morning comes
Sleep now, Valerie, beneath the hush of everything that hums
