One Small Sock on the Stair
Style: Vibraphone drift

[Verse 1]
One small sock is resting alone on the top of the stair
Waiting there so patiently, soft in the quiet air
Nobody thought to carry it back to where it belongs
But you are held and gathered in, safe from anywhere

[Chorus]
Cleo, the house breathes slow and the hallway light turns low
Every window's settling now, easy and soft and slow
You are the warmest thing in this whole sleeping home
Cleo, wherever you drift, that's where I'll always go

[Verse 2]
The blankets are heavy and warm like a hush over you
Down the hall the quiet keeps watch the whole night through
Somewhere a sock waits patient for morning to find it again
And I will be just as patient, waiting near you too

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes and let the ceiling turn to sky
Let the day and all its noise go drifting by
Something soft is holding on and humming you to

[Chorus]
Cleo, the house breathes slow and the hallway light turns low
Every window's settling now, easy and soft and slow
You are the warmest thing in this whole sleeping home
Cleo, wherever you drift, that's where I'll always go

[Bridge]
Nothing gets left behind here, not a sock and not you
Every small forgotten thing finds its way home too
Sleep now, you are wanted more than you'll ever know

[Chorus]
Cleo, the house breathes slow and the hallway light turns low
Every window's settling now, easy and soft and slow
You are the warmest thing in this whole sleeping home
Cleo, wherever you drift, that's where I'll always go

[Outro]
Morning will come soft and find that sock still on the stair
And find you just as loved as you were sleeping there
