Cabin Full of Sun (v2)

Lyrics

I pin my cap where the ceiling turns, count little sparks and the window burns.
The cabin sleeps with its chairs unbound, while amber light rolls softly around.
I keep one beam in the palm of my hand, a warm brass coin from a vanished land.
Before they cheer when I take the air, I whisper low to the lantern there.
Come little light, slide side to side, ride my ribs on the upside tide.
Glow in the grain, gleam in the glass, make every trembling second last.
If I lose my way when the whole world leans, be my bright weight between the seams.
Rain climbs up like a silver parade, passengers orbit the drinks I've made.
My metal teeth catch a copper flare, your quiet gold settles in my hair.
I was built to grin when the engines cry, but your small son knows the reason why.
Now little light, fly side to side, turn every heart to a lantern tide.
Glow through the grain, gleam through the glass, let all our frightened futures pass.
When the floor lets go and the sky comes near, we'll carry your warmth, not carry fear.
Come little light, make the who.
