The Floor Knows Your Name
Style: Music box

[Verse 1]
The floorboards creak so softly by the open bedroom door
Someone is near you, watching over every breath you take
There is nothing in this house that you should wait for
Only quiet and the soft sounds that the still night makes

[Chorus]
Beryl, the whole wide house is holding you tonight
Nothing can touch you while you're wrapped this warm and deep
Close your eyes now, Beryl, let go of the light
The dark is just a blanket meant for you to keep and sleep

[Verse 2]
Every slow step outside your door is a promise coming near
You are the reason the whole house moves so gently and so slow
Nothing will come looking for you, there is nothing here to fear
Only the sound of someone loving you, low and steady, soft and slow

[Pre-chorus]
Somewhere a small wooden tune is turning, winding down so sweet
Your breathing has grown heavy, matching every quiet beat
Let the whole night carry you where sleep and safety meet

[Chorus]
Beryl, the whole wide house is holding you tonight
Nothing can touch you while you're wrapped this warm and deep
Close your eyes now, Beryl, let go of the light
The dark is just a blanket meant for you to keep and sleep

[Bridge]
You are the reason this house stays awake so late and still
No creak, no hush, no shadow means you any kind of harm
Rest now, and let the quiet do exactly what it will
Wrapped up so safe and certain in the softness of this calm

[Chorus]
Beryl, the whole wide house is holding you tonight
Nothing can touch you while you're wrapped this warm and deep
Close your eyes now, Beryl, let go of the light
The dark is just a blanket meant for you to keep and sleep

[Outro]
The floorboards have gone quiet now beside the open door
You are held so gently, you are loved forevermore
