Little Duck, Little Star
Style: Kalimba night

[Verse 1]
The little duck holds fast against the white tile wall
It does not slip, it does not drift, it does not fall
Something small can hold on tight when it is loved that way
And you are held far tighter still through darkness and through dawn

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the water and the day run still
The house breathes slow around you, soft and warm and kind
Nothing here will let you go, nothing ever will

[Chorus]
Aaron, the night is soft and made to keep you near
Every corner of this dark is gentle, never bare
There is no hour tonight that leaves you standing there alone
Aaron, you are the warmth this whole house holds and shares

[Verse 2]
Small suction cups can hold a duck against the sheerest tile
No storm of water ever pulls it far or wide
So I will hold you closer than the porcelain holds its shine
You will not drift from me, not once, not through the night

[Chorus]
Aaron, the night is soft and made to keep you near
Every corner of this dark is gentle, never bare
There is no hour tonight that leaves you standing there alone
Aaron, you are the warmth this whole house holds and shares

[Bridge]
Even the smallest things were built to stay right where they're placed
So rest here, steady, sure, and safe within this space

[Chorus]
Aaron, the night is soft and made to keep you near
Every corner of this dark is gentle, never bare
There is no hour tonight that leaves you standing there alone
Aaron, you are the warmth this whole house holds and shares

[Outro]
The little duck stays fastened while the water settles still
Sleep now, Aaron, held as gently, safe until the light
