Brass Key on the Sill
Style: Rain and piano

[Verse 1]
There's a small brass key resting quiet on the sill tonight
while the waves roll far below and no one minds their sound
you are wrapped up warm and heavy, breathing slow and light
and the whole wide house is settled, calm and safe around

[Pre-chorus]
The water can crash and turn as much as it may need
nothing has to reach this room, nothing has to try
so let your eyes grow heavy now and let your hands stay free

[Chorus]
Kayla, the night is holding you gently as you dream
the key stays on the windowsill, steady in its place
nothing out there in the dark is stronger than it seems
and Kayla, you are held here in the softest kind of grace

[Verse 2]
Somewhere far off the tide keeps turning, endless and unseen
but here the lamp burns low and kind, just for you to keep
you don't need locks or keys tonight to know you're safe and clean
only the sound of breathing slow, sliding into sleep

[Bridge]
Let the waves keep their long and rolling story
you are the quiet centre it moves around
nothing loud can touch this small, warm glory
nothing sharp can find you, sleeping sound

[Chorus]
Kayla, the night is holding you gently as you dream
the key stays on the windowsill, steady in its place
nothing out there in the dark is stronger than it seems
and Kayla, you are held here in the softest kind of grace

[Outro]
The brass key rests still on the sill as morning starts to climb
and you are safe and sleeping, held through all this quiet time
