The House That Loves You Best
Style: Clarinet nightlight

[Verse 1]
The pendulum swings slow behind the glass door tonight
marking time so gently it forgets to bite
Somewhere above us a floorboard settles into rest
and you are the quiet this whole house loves best

[Pre-chorus]
The hush is gathering closer, soft as a held breath
folding every worry down to something small and safe
and all it wants tonight is to carry you to sleep

[Chorus]
Arabella, close your eyes, the night is holding still
Arabella, let it carry you wherever dreams see fit to spill
Nothing in the dark tonight will ever ask you why
you are safe here, you are loved here, that's the only lullaby

[Verse 2]
The clock behind the glass keeps its slow and steady beat
while the house breathes around you, settling at your feet
Every creak upstairs is only the day letting go
and you are held here tighter than the dark can ever know

[Chorus]
Arabella, close your eyes, the night is holding still
Arabella, let it carry you wherever dreams see fit to spill
Nothing in the dark tonight will ever ask you why
you are safe here, you are loved here, that's the only lullaby

[Bridge]
Long after the pendulum has stopped its steady sway
this love around you will not fade away

[Chorus]
Arabella, close your eyes, the night is holding still
Arabella, let it carry you wherever dreams see fit to spill
Nothing in the dark tonight will ever ask you why
you are safe here, you are loved here, that's the only lullaby

[Outro]
The pendulum still swings soft behind the glass door
and you are the peace this house was waiting for
