The Brass Glow
Style: Kalimba night

[Verse 1]
The little brass lamp is burning low beside your bed
It paints a warm circle soft as honey on the wall
Even the tired old wallpaper glows gold instead of grey
You are the reason this whole small room feels warm at all

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the glow hold steady while you rest
Nothing in the dark tonight can reach where you lie curled
There is nowhere safer than this small and golden nest

[Chorus]
Inaya, hush now, let the light stay low and kind
Sleep is just a river and I'll keep you on the shore
Nothing in this house is dearer than the breath you're breathing, Inaya
You are held here softer than you've ever been before

[Verse 2]
The peeling wallpaper has seen a hundred sleepy nights
But none of them held someone quite as precious as you now
Every crack and corner in this room has learned your name
And every shadow softens when it settles on your brow

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the glow hold steady while you rest
Nothing in the dark tonight can reach where you lie curled
There is nowhere safer than this small and golden nest

[Chorus]
Inaya, hush now, let the light stay low and kind
Sleep is just a river and I'll keep you on the shore
Nothing in this house is dearer than the breath you're breathing, Inaya
You are held here softer than you've ever been before

[Bridge]
Whatever the night brings, however far you drift and roam
This circle of orange light will still be burning when you're home

[Chorus]
Inaya, hush now, let the light stay low and kind
Sleep is just a river and I'll keep you on the shore
Nothing in this house is dearer than the breath you're breathing, Inaya
You are held here softer than you've ever been before

[Outro]
The brass lamp will keep its watch till morning finds the wall
Sleep now, little one, you are the warmest thing of all
