Brass Key, Soft Light
Style: Kalimba night

[Verse 1]
High on the wall where the dark wallpaper glows
you watch the little brass key catch the light
and I keep it there just to open your dreams
turning them soft and turning them bright

[Pre-chorus]
Nothing can reach you while that small key waits
holding the hush of the whole quiet house
and the night leans in close, gentle and slow

[Chorus]
Holly, my Holly, the house breathes so still
every small sound settling down for the night
close now your eyes, let the brass key keep watch
Holly, you're held until morning light

[Verse 2]
The hook on the wall never lets the key fall
steady as breathing, as constant as this
and I am as certain that you will be safe
wrapped in the warmth of a slow goodnight kiss

[Pre-chorus]
Nothing can reach you while that small key waits
holding the hush of the whole quiet house
and the night leans in close, gentle and slow

[Chorus]
Holly, my Holly, the house breathes so still
every small sound settling down for the night
close now your eyes, let the brass key keep watch
Holly, you're held until morning light

[Bridge]
Sleep now, and let every worry unwind
the key never moves and neither does my love

[Chorus]
Holly, my Holly, the house breathes so still
every small sound settling down for the night
close now your eyes, let the brass key keep watch
Holly, you're held until morning light

[Outro]
The brass key still hangs where the soft shadows fall
and you, little Holly, are held safe through it all
