Old Wood, Soft Sleep
Style: Kalimba night

[Verse 1]
Somewhere below your bed the old wood settles and sighs
Quietly holding the house together while you drift
Nothing that creaks tonight was ever built to hurt us
Every soft groan is just this home learning to lift

[Pre-chorus]
Wrapped in wool and heavy timber, nothing here can reach you
Feel how the whole house leans in closer just to teach you
Sleep is only one more door that gently wants to open

[Chorus]
Curtis, the night has folded soft around your name
Rest here where nothing moves too fast and nothing feels the same
You are the warmest thing this quiet old house has ever known
Curtis, sleep easy, you are never, ever on your own

[Verse 2]
Under the blanket your small breathing keeps its own slow time
Somewhere a beam settles lower like it's certain us to keep
Nothing in this house was ever built to make you worthless
You are the reason these old boards learn to creep so deep

[Pre-chorus]
Wrapped in wool and heavy timber, nothing here can reach you
Feel how the whole house leans in closer just to teach you
Sleep is only one more door that gently wants to open

[Chorus]
Curtis, the night has folded soft around your name
Rest here where nothing moves too fast and nothing feels the same
You are the warmest thing this quiet old house has ever known
Curtis, sleep easy, you are never, ever on your own

[Bridge]
Let every small sound settle you further, never shake you
Nothing that shifts down there was ever meant to wake you

[Chorus]
Curtis, the night has folded soft around your name
Rest here where nothing moves too fast and nothing feels the same
You are the warmest thing this quiet old house has ever known
Curtis, sleep easy, you are never, ever on your own

[Outro]
Somewhere below, the floor keeps its slow and steady breathing
Sleep now, Curtis, safe beneath the wool, held without leaving
