Yellow Squares
Style: Accordion cradle

[Verse 1]
Lights slip along the seat where your small head is resting
Soft yellow squares are drifting across you like a blessing
Nothing tonight will come to trouble you here
Warm in the hush, safe from the world and its pressing

[Pre-chorus]
Close now those eyes so heavy with travelling
Let the quiet road hum you to stillness
Sleep is so near, just waiting to hold you

[Chorus]
Zuri, the night has folded soft around you
Nothing can find you, nothing can wound you
Somewhere past dreaming, morning is near
Zuri, my darling, sleep, I have found you

[Verse 2]
Every square of light that passes leans down to see you
Then it slides away gently, as if to free you
Rest does not ask you for anything more
Only to stay here, only to let it be you

[Pre-chorus]
Close now those eyes so heavy with travelling
Let the quiet road hum you to stillness
Sleep is so near, just waiting to hold you

[Chorus]
Zuri, the night has folded soft around you
Nothing can find you, nothing can wound you
Somewhere past dreaming, morning is near
Zuri, my darling, sleep, I have found you

[Bridge]
Wherever this road is quietly taking us
You are the reason the dark feels so gentle
Rest now, and know you are carried
Held by a love that will never grow distant

[Chorus]
Zuri, the night has folded soft around you
Nothing can find you, nothing can wound you
Somewhere past dreaming, morning is near
Zuri, my darling, sleep, I have found you

[Outro]
The light still moves in its slow yellow pattern
Sleep now, my love, you are already home
