The Key Turns Soft
Style: Harp lullaby

[Verse 1]
A heavy brass key turns soft in the door tonight
Locking the dark outside and holding you in the light
The wind can knock but it never gets past the frame
You rest inside a house that always knows your name

[Pre-chorus]
Every latch is closed, every corner still and low
The lamp above the door leans down to watch you glow
Sleep is close now, drifting in soft and slow

[Chorus]
Andrew, the light turns round and finds you here
Safe in the turning beam, nothing to fear
Andrew, the key is turned, the night is kind
Rest in the glow that was always yours to find

[Verse 2]
Somewhere a tower stands with its window round and warm
Watching for little boats caught out in the storm
But you are not lost, you are folded in tight
Wrapped in the hush of a slow and steady night

[Pre-chorus]
Every latch is closed, every corner still and low
The lamp above the door leans down to watch you glow
Sleep is close now, drifting in soft and slow

[Chorus]
Andrew, the light turns round and finds you here
Safe in the turning beam, nothing to fear
Andrew, the key is turned, the night is kind
Rest in the glow that was always yours to find

[Bridge]
No storm can find the room where you lie still
No tide can climb so high, no wind so shrill
You are the reason the whole house stays awake and warm

[Chorus]
Andrew, the light turns round and finds you here
Safe in the turning beam, nothing to fear
Andrew, the key is turned, the night is kind
Rest in the glow that was always yours to find

[Outro]
The key stays turned, the door stays warm and still
Sleep now, Andrew, safe upon the sill
