The Stair That Knows Your Name
Style: Folk cradle song

[Verse 1]
The floorboards creak so softly halfway up the stair
Somebody's coming careful through the dark to find you there
Every gentle footstep says how much you're loved and rare
Nothing in this whole wide house will ever cause you care

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the quiet settle on your chest
Hear the house breathe slow around you as you take your rest
Warm and held and waiting for the softest kind of yes

[Chorus]
Harri, Harri, sleep is calling low and sweet
Under blankets safe and heavy, dreaming at your feet
Nobody could ever love you half as starry, Harri
Rest here where the dark and quiet meet

[Verse 2]
The stairs are old and know your name from all the nights before
Every worn and gentle hollow led me to your door
Small and warm beneath the covers, that is all you're for tonight
Just to breathe and drift and settle into starlight

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the quiet settle on your chest
Hear the house breathe slow around you as you take your rest
Warm and held and waiting for the softest kind of yes

[Chorus]
Harri, Harri, sleep is calling low and sweet
Under blankets safe and heavy, dreaming at your feet
Nobody could ever love you half as starry, Harri
Rest here where the dark and quiet meet

[Bridge]
Somewhere past the ceiling the whole night is standing guard
Nothing gets to reach you, nothing gets to feel too hard
You are held by every creak and every careful sound

[Chorus]
Harri, Harri, sleep is calling low and sweet
Under blankets safe and heavy, dreaming at your feet
Nobody could ever love you half as starry, Harri
Rest here where the dark and quiet meet

[Outro]
The stairs go quiet now, the whole house settling down to rest
Sleep, my Harri, you are carried, you are always blessed
