Warm as the Hallway Light
Style: Music box

[Verse 1]
The radiator hums a low and sleepy little song
Somewhere past the basket where the day's washing lies still
You are wrapped up warmer than the whole wide house tonight
And every quiet corner holds you gently, always will

[Pre-chorus]
Outside the wind is turning but it cannot reach this hall
Nothing sharp or hurried gets to find you in here
So let your breathing slow down, let the whole world grow small

[Chorus]
Ariana, hush now, let the hissing pipes be near
Nothing in this house was ever built to bring you harm
You are held here softer than a summer in Savannah
Ariana, close your eyes inside this steady warm

[Verse 2]
The lamp throws out a circle where the two of us can rest
Further off the darkness waits but never gets too bold
You are folded safer than the softest shirt in that basket
Kept from every worry, kept from every kind of cold

[Chorus]
Ariana, hush now, let the hissing pipes be near
Nothing in this house was ever built to bring you harm
You are held here softer than a summer in Savannah
Ariana, close your eyes inside this steady warm

[Bridge]
Every little creak here only means the house is settling too
Nothing moves against you, nothing wakes to trouble you

[Chorus]
Ariana, hush now, let the hissing pipes be near
Nothing in this house was ever built to bring you harm
You are held here softer than a summer in Savannah
Ariana, close your eyes inside this steady warm

[Outro]
The radiator hums on softly long after you've gone to sleep
And I will stay right here beside you, watching, warm and near
