Ward Lamp, Low and Amber

“A hospital ward lamp, low and amber. This is the first song where the drum machine comes in, and it's barely louder than a heartbeat.”

Lyrics
One small lamp is on down the hall Low and amber on the wall Soft shoes pass and then they're gone The night ward breathes along Keep the lamp on, low and amber Keep the lamp on, I'm right here Close your eyes, the night is gentle Keep the lamp on, sleep is near A paper cup of water by the bed A blanket pulled up to my head Someone's walking, slow and kind Checking on the quiet minds Keep the lamp on, low and amber Keep the lamp on, I'm right here Close your eyes, the night is gentle Keep the lamp on, sleep is near Every window holds a light Every light holds someone's night None of us are all alone We are small lamps, softly shown Keep the lamp on, low and amber Keep the lamp on, I'm right here Close your eyes, the night is gentle Keep the lamp on, sleep is near Low and amber Sleep is near
