Lyric

A copper sky leans low

Over the window seam

Your name in a silver thread

Stitches the edge of the dream

I trace the quiet line

Where trouble turns to gold

A tender kind of current

Running through the cold

And if the weight comes near

I let it pass by

Fold the hard hours down

Like clouds in a tide

The room turns slow and kind

A velvet in the air

Every sharp little worry

Loses its stare

Stay in the amber

Stay in the glow

Stay in the amber

Let the hard edges go

Soft like a psalm

Warm like a prayer

Stay in the amber

We can breathe in there

A clock with a patient tongue

Counts in a lower key

The old rough road behind us

Fades in a honey sea

Your steps beside the hush

Make a safer kind of sound

Even the restless shadows

Settle to the ground

And if the day cuts close

I let it drift wide

Open the curtain of peace

Let it move inside

The ache becomes a ribbon

Thin and hard to keep

Then the whole sky loosens

Into a deeper sleep

Stay in the amber

Stay in the glow

Stay in the amber

Let the hard edges go

Soft like a psalm

Warm like a prayer

Stay in the amber

We can breathe in there

A midnight bowl of color

Spilled across the glass

Little sparks in the distance

Teaching hurt to pass

Not every storm arrives

To break the door in two

Some just come to tell us

What the heart can do

A quiet kind of courage

Moves beneath the skin

Turning all the broken places

Into place to begin

And if the fear comes back

I let it unspool

One gentle breath at a time

One simple rule

The world can turn so hard

But it cannot stay

When the soft light gathers

And pulls night away

Stay in the amber

Stay in the glow

Stay in the amber

Let the hard edges go

Soft like a psalm

Warm like a prayer

Stay in the amber

We can breathe in there

Some days are iron

Some days are rain

Some days are stitched

From a sweet little pain

Still the small bright mercy

Finds the seam

Turns the cracked-up silence

Into a stream

So if the road gets narrow

And the air feels thin

Follow the golden tremor

Where the peace begins

Stay in the amber

Stay in the glow

Stay in the amber

Let the hard edges go

Soft like a psalm

Warm like a prayer

Stay in the amber

We can breathe in there

Stay in the amber

Stay in the glow

Stay in the amber

And let it carry us home
