Light Across the Ceiling
Style: Cello cradle

[Verse 1]
Lights are sliding soft across the white above your head
Little travelling glows that drift so slow across your bed
They never mean to wake you, only pass and fade away
And I am watching over you until they're gone again

[Chorus]
Zayn, the night is holding you as gently as I can
Nothing here will hurt you while these quiet hours pass
You are safer than the moonlight resting on your tiny hand
Zayn, my love will keep you warm until the morning comes

[Verse 2]
Every little shadow that goes wandering through the room
Only wants to wish you well before it slips from view
The dark is just a blanket that the whole wide world puts on
And I am right beside you as it settles over you

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the ceiling turn to dreaming skies
Let the hush of evening carry all your worries far away
There is nowhere safer than the place where you are lying

[Chorus]
Zayn, the night is holding you as gently as I can
Nothing here will hurt you while these quiet hours pass
You are safer than the moonlight resting on your tiny hand
Zayn, my love will keep you warm until the morning comes

[Bridge]
Sleep now, and let the whole wide world grow still and slow
You are the calm at the centre of everything I know

[Chorus]
Zayn, the night is holding you as gently as I can
Nothing here will hurt you while these quiet hours pass
You are safer than the moonlight resting on your tiny hand
Zayn, my love will keep you warm until the morning comes

[Outro]
The lights will keep on drifting soft across the plaster white
And you will keep on sleeping safe and held by me tonight
