Quiet Kitchen Light
Style: Fingerpicked night

[Verse 1]
The tea towels are hanging so still by the humming fridge light
Everything in this house has gone soft and gone slow
Nothing needs doing now, nothing is asking for you
Only this quiet, only the warmth we both know

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the humming carry you under
Let the small sounds of the kitchen turn into a song
There is nowhere you have to be but right here

[Chorus]
Daniela, the night is folding soft around you
Sleep is a blanket that only gets kinder
Nobody needs you to open your eyes now
Daniela, rest easy, there's nothing you're missing

[Verse 2]
Somewhere a tap is dripping slow like it's counting you down to dreaming
The fridge keeps humming low like it's holding its own steady tune
You don't have to listen, you don't have to hold onto anything
Just let your breathing slow till it matches the room

[Chorus]
Daniela, the night is folding soft around you
Sleep is a blanket that only gets kinder
Nobody needs you to open your eyes now
Daniela, rest easy, there's nothing you're missing

[Bridge]
However far you drift, this kitchen will keep its light on
You are held here so gently, you barely feel the weight

[Chorus]
Daniela, the night is folding soft around you
Sleep is a blanket that only gets kinder
Nobody needs you to open your eyes now
Daniela, rest easy, there's nothing you're missing

[Outro]
The tea towels still hang white and quiet by the fridge's gentle hum
Sleep now, Daniela, morning will come soft when it comes
