Quiet on the Stairs
Style: Celesta and strings

[Verse 1]
The brass turns cold and quiet at the top of the stair
Soft feet on carpet, coming just to check you're here
Nothing in this house is moving faster than a breath
You are held so gently, wrapped in all this care

[Chorus]
Aiden, close your eyes now, let the night come soft and slow
Nobody could love you more than you are loved, you know
Aiden, in the hush, you're the safest thing I've made
Sleep will hold you steady till the morning light has stayed

[Verse 2]
The handle turns so slowly, not a whisper, not a sound
Every door tonight is closing gently all around
You don't need to wonder if the dark has room for fear
There is only warmth here, only quiet, only you

[Pre-chorus]
Somewhere past the window the whole wide world lies still
Nothing needs your worry, nothing needs your will
Just this breath, this blanket, this one small and steady thrill

[Chorus]
Aiden, close your eyes now, let the night come soft and slow
Nobody could love you more than you are loved, you know
Aiden, in the hush, you're the safest thing I've made
Sleep will hold you steady till the morning light has stayed

[Bridge]
However far you wander when the years begin to run
You'll always be the quiet at the closing of the day
However dark it gets, you'll always be the one

[Chorus]
Aiden, close your eyes now, let the night come soft and slow
Nobody could love you more than you are loved, you know
Aiden, in the hush, you're the safest thing I've made
Sleep will hold you steady till the morning light has stayed

[Outro]
The brass has gone still now, the stairs have gone to rest
You are the whole reason this quiet house is blessed
