The Kettle's Gone Quiet
Style: Harp lullaby

[Verse 1]
The blue kettle rests now, its long day is done
Cooling on iron where the warmth used to run
Everything settles when the steam drifts away
So close your two eyes and rest like the day

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the house has gone soft in the dark
Nothing to fear here, not a sound, not a spark
Let the quiet carry you somewhere warm and slow

[Chorus]
Ayla, the whole house breathes so slow and low
Nothing can reach you where you're going to go
Sleep like a stayer who has nowhere to be
Ayla, I'm here, and you are safe here with me

[Verse 2]
A small ring of heat still lingers on black stone
Fading so gently, never leaving you alone
You are the warmth that stays after the flame
Held in this quiet that only knows your name

[Bridge]
No need to wake, no need to wander or roam
Every soft corner of this night is your home

[Chorus]
Ayla, the whole house breathes so slow and low
Nothing can reach you where you're going to go
Sleep like a stayer who has nowhere to be
Ayla, I'm here, and you are safe here with me

[Outro]
The kettle is cooling, its whistle long past
Rest now, my Ayla, held gentle and safe
