Twice in the Lock
Style: Humming choir

[Verse 1]
Somebody turns the brass key twice before the hush can start
Softly the carpet swallows every footstep near your heart
Nothing tonight can find its way past this quiet door
You are the reason all this care was gathered here before

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the small sounds fade away
Nothing will wake you, nothing will lead you astray
Sleep is a room where you are always safe to stay

[Chorus]
Evelyn, the lock is turned, the house breathes soft and slow
Nothing but calm is waiting in the dark below
You are held closer than any latch or key could say
Evelyn, hush now, morning finds its own sweet way

[Verse 2]
Somewhere a floorboard settles like it's tired too and stays
Quietly the whole night folds itself around your days
You are the warmth this house was always built to keep
Rest now, there is nothing left to guard except your sleep

[Bridge]
Every small sound outside has learned to soften near your bed
Let the hush carry all the worry from your head

[Chorus]
Evelyn, the lock is turned, the house breathes soft and slow
Nothing but calm is waiting in the dark below
You are held closer than any latch or key could say
Evelyn, hush now, morning finds its own sweet way

[Outro]
The key stays turned, the carpet still, the night stands calm and near
Sleep now, Evelyn, you are safe and loved in here
