Soft Floor, Softer You
Style: Flute and pad

[Verse 1]
A quiet board sighs beneath these slow and woollen steps
careful not to wake the hush that's settled on this room
I would cross a hundred floors just to reach your side
every soft creak only says how gently you are loved

[Pre-chorus]
Nothing in this house would dare to break so calm a spell
even shadows learn to move as slow as breathing does
hold that stillness now, love, while I come to say your name

[Chorus]
Gladys, the whole house leans in close to keep you warm
nothing out there in the dark can find you here at all
Gladys, you're the reason every sound turns soft tonight
even old wood learns to hush before it lets you fall

[Verse 2]
Somewhere a sock slides quiet over floorboards worn and kind
and every little sound tonight is only meant to soothe
you don't need to know the way the whole house holds its breath
just know that it is holding it entirely for you

[Chorus]
Gladys, the whole house leans in close to keep you warm
nothing out there in the dark can find you here at all
Gladys, you're the reason every sound turns soft tonight
even old wood learns to hush before it lets you fall

[Bridge]
Rest your small weight into mine and let the night grow still
you are held by more than arms, you're held by everything

[Chorus]
Gladys, the whole house leans in close to keep you warm
nothing out there in the dark can find you here at all
Gladys, you're the reason every sound turns soft tonight
even old wood learns to hush before it lets you fall

[Outro]
The floor has gone quiet now, its work already done
sleep now, love, the whole house is only guarding you
