Soft the Landing
Style: Cello cradle

[Verse 1]
Somewhere past your door a radiator clicks so slow
keeping all its borrowed warmth for you alone to know
Darkness holds the hallway still and folds it soft as wool
and you are held much closer than that dark is ever full

[Pre-chorus]
Nothing in this house is moving louder than your breath
every hush tonight is only love arranged like this
so let the small warm click become the sound you keep

[Chorus]
Cyril, the night has curled up small around you now
hushed and warm, no reason left to wonder how
you are the softest thing this whole house ever found
Cyril, sleep is only love, and love has settled down

[Verse 2]
Out on the landing where the cold leans on the wall
that little click keeps time as gentle as it's small
and every steady beat of it is saying you belong
right here, inside this quiet, safe from anything gone wrong

[Pre-chorus]
Nothing in this house is moving louder than your breath
every hush tonight is only love arranged like this
so let the small warm click become the sound you keep

[Chorus]
Cyril, the night has curled up small around you now
hushed and warm, no reason left to wonder how
you are the softest thing this whole house ever found
Cyril, sleep is only love, and love has settled down

[Bridge]
Rest now, there is nowhere else that you need to be
only this warm dark, only you and only me
the whole wide world can wait outside a little longer still

[Chorus]
Cyril, the night has curled up small around you now
hushed and warm, no reason left to wonder how
you are the softest thing this whole house ever found
Cyril, sleep is only love, and love has settled down

[Outro]
Somewhere the radiator clicks its small and steady song
sleep now, Cyril, you were loved the whole night long
