The Radiator Hums
Style: Kalimba night

[Verse 1]
The radiator clicks its quiet song against the wall
and one small bulb keeps watch above the coats and all
you breathe so soft the whole room seems to lean in close
this house goes still to hold you safest of them all

[Pre-chorus]
Somewhere a door forgets to creak and settles into rest
the light above the coat rack dims to bless your chest
so let the hush come find you now and pull you in

[Chorus]
Harper, the night has wrapped its arms around this room
hush now, the dark is only kindness dressed in bloom
nothing will reach you here, not shadow, not the sharper cold
sleep, little Harper, sleep, there's nowhere safe you'd rather be

[Verse 2]
The wall stays warm long after every sound has gone to bed
a coat sleeve sways so gently near your sleepy head
you curl up smaller than the smallest worry in the world
and everything I love is breathing right here in this bed

[Bridge]
Let every click become a lullaby the wall remembers
hold on to nothing, drift through darker hours to softer embers

[Chorus]
Harper, the night has wrapped its arms around this room
hush now, the dark is only kindness dressed in bloom
nothing will reach you here, not shadow, not the sharper cold
sleep, little Harper, sleep, there's nowhere safe you'd rather be

[Outro]
The bulb burns low above the coats and no one stirs
and you sleep on, so warm, so far past anything that hurts
