Small Light on the Landing
Style: Cello cradle

[Verse 1]
Dust is drifting slow through the landing's narrow beam of light
Nothing in this house is moving faster than that gentle glow
Close your eyes now, let the quiet gather soft around you, Wayne
Everything you need is here, there's nowhere else to go

[Chorus]
Wayne, the dark is only resting, it will never come too near
Somewhere past the hush a train is humming far and low
Wayne, my love is wrapped around you, steady as the falling rain
You are held here safe and warm, whatever winds may blow

[Verse 2]
Little specks of light are floating, drifting slow like they've got time
Nothing in this world is chasing you or asking you to grow
Rest your head against the pillow, let your busy thoughts grow plain
Morning is a promise waiting quiet down below

[Pre-chorus]
Somewhere down the hall a soft light hums against the wall
Sleep is climbing gently upward, calling soft and low
It's reaching for you now, Wayne, so

[Chorus]
Wayne, the dark is only resting, it will never come too near
Somewhere past the hush a train is humming far and low
Wayne, my love is wrapped around you, steady as the falling rain
You are held here safe and warm, whatever winds may blow

[Bridge]
Even quiet has a colour when it settles soft like this
Even silence holds you closer than you'll ever know

[Chorus]
Wayne, the dark is only resting, it will never come too near
Somewhere past the hush a train is humming far and low
Wayne, my love is wrapped around you, steady as the falling rain
You are held here safe and warm, whatever winds may blow

[Outro]
Dust still drifts along the landing while the house breathes soft and slow
Sleep now, little Wayne, and let the quiet light hold you close
