Socks on the Warm Floor
Style: Cello cradle

[Verse 1]
Heavy wool socks tread soft across the old creaking floor
Carrying warmth to the place where you finally rest
Every small sound in this house is a sound you adore
Because you know you are safe, you know you are blessed

[Pre-chorus]
The radiator hums low like it's singing along
Nothing tonight needs to hurry or reach for the light
Just breathe, little one, while I finish this song

[Chorus]
David, the whole house leans in close to keep you warm
Nothing can touch you, nothing can bring you harm
David, I'll stand by the radiator till you're deep in sleep
Quiet as socks on the floorboards, this love that I keep

[Verse 2]
The wood underfoot gives a whisper with each gentle step
Like it knows how to hold what is precious and small
Sleep pulls you under so soft you don't notice you've slept
And I'll stay near the warmth till the hush covers all

[Chorus]
David, the whole house leans in close to keep you warm
Nothing can touch you, nothing can bring you harm
David, I'll stand by the radiator till you're deep in sleep
Quiet as socks on the floorboards, this love that I keep

[Bridge]
Let the night settle soft as the sound of my feet
Nothing to chase, nowhere further to roam
You are the reason this house feels complete

[Chorus]
David, the whole house leans in close to keep you warm
Nothing can touch you, nothing can bring you harm
David, I'll stand by the radiator till you're deep in sleep
Quiet as socks on the floorboards, this love that I keep

[Outro]
The floor stops its creaking once you have drifted so deep
Warm and unshaken, exactly where love wants you kept
