Steady Little Flame
Style: Soft piano

[Verse 1]
A little flame is trembling soft inside a jar of glass tonight
It holds so still and warm against the cold that waits outside
You are that steady light I hold so close and call so bright
Nothing in this whole wide dark can ever make you hide

[Pre-chorus]
The wind can knock and wander but it cannot reach this glow
Your breathing slows the whole wide room to something soft and low
So let the heavy hours come, I will not let you go

[Chorus]
Wilbur, hush now, let the quiet stir
Nothing in the dark can dim you, only make you blur
Wilbur, you're the warmth I always choose to keep for
Close your eyes, my steady light, my little flame, my sir

[Verse 2]
The glass grows warm around the flame but never lets it fall
You are held the same, so safely, wrapped in this soft wall
Every shadow in the corner is too shy to ever call
You are worth far more than all the quiet dark and all

[Chorus]
Wilbur, hush now, let the quiet stir
Nothing in the dark can dim you, only make you blur
Wilbur, you're the warmth I always choose to keep for
Close your eyes, my steady light, my little flame, my sir

[Bridge]
Sleep can come and wrap around you gentle as it should
Nothing that you carry now will ever leave for good

[Chorus]
Wilbur, hush now, let the quiet stir
Nothing in the dark can dim you, only make you blur
Wilbur, you're the warmth I always choose to keep for
Close your eyes, my steady light, my little flame, my sir

[Outro]
The little flame still glows inside its jar of thick warm glass
And you will still be held this way when every dark has passed
