Long Shadows, Little Light
Style: Gentle acoustic

[Verse 1]
The yellow light is leaning soft across your windowsill tonight
It stretches out so slow and gold, it moves without a sound
And every little shadow that goes drifting through the glow
Is just the world outside you, turning gently round

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes, the lamp will keep its watch until the morning
Nothing out there needs you now, the day has said its goodnight
So let your breathing follow mine and drift where dreams are calling

[Chorus]
Wilbur, the night is wrapping softly all around you
Hush now, my love, there's nowhere safer you could be
Wilbur, the light outside is humming low to find you
Sleep now, and let the whole wide dark be kind to thee

[Verse 2]
The white sill holds the glow like it was always meant to stay
And even when the wind gets up, it never lets it go
So rest inside this quiet room where nothing needs to hurry
You are the warmest thing this small house ever seemed to know

[Chorus]
Wilbur, the night is wrapping softly all around you
Hush now, my love, there's nowhere safer you could be
Wilbur, the light outside is humming low to find you
Sleep now, and let the whole wide dark be kind to thee

[Bridge]
However far the shadows stretch, they never reach your bed
However long the night runs on, it only rocks you slower

[Chorus]
Wilbur, the night is wrapping softly all around you
Hush now, my love, there's nowhere safer you could be
Wilbur, the light outside is humming low to find you
Sleep now, and let the whole wide dark be kind to thee

[Outro]
The lamp will keep its glow upon the sill till morning finds you
Sleep now, small one, you were loved before the light came through
