Yellow Line Under the Door
Style: Music box

[Verse 1]
Down on the floorboards a striped rug is waiting for you
Softly the light through the door finds its way to you too
Somewhere beyond it the house breathes so quiet and slow
Nothing can reach you, not tonight, while I'm near you, I know

[Chorus]
Yahya, my dear one, the dark is a friend in disguise
Close now those little and wonderful, wandering eyes
Yahya, I'll stay till the morning comes soft through the pane
Sleep now, my Yahya, and dream until daylight again

[Verse 2]
Under the door the light lies like a ribbon of gold
Wrapping the room in the warmth that will never grow old
You are the reason the quiet feels gentle tonight
Curled up and safe while I keep watch beside you till light

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the house settles down with a creak and a sigh
Rest now, there's nothing to fear as the hours drift by
Let your small breathing grow slow as the stars climb the sky

[Chorus]
Yahya, my dear one, the dark is a friend in disguise
Close now those little and wonderful, wandering eyes
Yahya, I'll stay till the morning comes soft through the pane
Sleep now, my Yahya, and dream until daylight again

[Bridge]
Every shadow that falls is only the night pulling near
Nothing waits in the dark but the ones who love you right here

[Chorus]
Yahya, my dear one, the dark is a friend in disguise
Close now those little and wonderful, wandering eyes
Yahya, I'll stay till the morning comes soft through the pane
Sleep now, my Yahya, and dream until daylight again

[Outro]
Somewhere that ribbon of light will keep watch when I don't
Sleep now, my own one, held safe in the glow that it brought
