One Small Light

[Verse 1]
It's 2 a.m. again
In this quiet room
Your coat on the chair
And the window too

The lamp by the bed
Makes a pale gold line
I turn toward the wall
And I wait for time

[Pre-Chorus]
My hands are still cold
My thoughts still roam
But the dark can't stay
Forever in this home

[Chorus]
One small light
Keeps me here tonight
One small light
Till the morning finds me right

One small light
By the window, soft and low
One small light
Saying, maybe, let it grow (let it grow)

[Verse 2]
The cup on the desk
Has a ring of tea
Your name in my head
Like a tide in me

The room feels too wide
Then it softens near
When that little lamp
Cuts a path through here

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't need a sign
To know I'm still here
Just a steady glow
And a little less fear

[Chorus]
One small light
Keeps me here tonight
One small light
Till the morning finds me right

One small light
By the window, soft and low
One small light
Saying, maybe, let it grow (let it grow)

[Bridge]
If tomorrow comes
I can face the day
Not all at once
But a step away

The sky will turn
Slow and plain and blue
And this quiet room
Will be less like losing you

[Final Chorus]
One small light
Keeps me here tonight
One small light
Till the morning finds me right

One small light
By the window, soft and low
One small light
I can wait and let it grow (let it grow)

One small light
Till the morning opens slow
One small light
And I won't be gone before the dawn
