Brass Hook Lullaby
Style: Fingerpicked night

[Verse 1]
The keys hang quiet on their little brass hook tonight
The radiator clicks and settles, easing down to rest
Every small sound in this room is turning soft and slight
And you are the warmest, safest thing here, held and blessed

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the ticking hush you slow
Nothing needs to move again till morning comes to call
So let the whole wide house grow still and let it go

[Chorus]
Agnes, the night is folding soft around your bed
Nothing can reach you here, no shadow, no alarm
You are the calm the whole house leans its weight upon
Agnes, sleep deep, you're held, you're safe, you're warm

[Verse 2]
Somewhere a kettle cools and settles into silence too
The hallway light goes low, the whole world dims its hum
And even in the dark I'm always here with you
No need to keep your eyes from closing, sleep can come

[Bridge]
Rest now, let the hours turn without a sound
Everything you need is already found

[Chorus]
Agnes, the night is folding soft around your bed
Nothing can reach you here, no shadow, no alarm
You are the calm the whole house leans its weight upon
Agnes, sleep deep, you're held, you're safe, you're warm

[Outro]
The hook still holds the keys, the house has gone to rest
Sleep now, little one, you're safe, you're loved, you're blessed
