Copper and Quiet
Style: Folk cradle song

[Verse 1]
Copper is cooling now on the old iron stove
and quiet comes creeping through every open door
you're wrapped in the hush that the evening lets fall
safe in this house where I'm holding it all

[Pre-chorus]
Traffic hums soft like a tune far away
fading to nothing as it turns into grey
and all of that distance is leading to you

[Chorus]
Luca, my Luca, the night holds you tight
wrapped up in stillness and cradled in light
nothing can touch you, no shadow, no sound
Luca, my Luca, so safely you're found

[Verse 2]
Steam that once rose has gone soft into air
curling away without worry or care
you breathe just as slow as the kettle grows still
resting in warmth that no chill ever will

[Chorus]
Luca, my Luca, the night holds you tight
wrapped up in stillness and cradled in light
nothing can touch you, no shadow, no sound
Luca, my Luca, so safely you're found

[Bridge]
Sleep is a blanket that only grows deeper
hush is a hand that will always come near you
rest now, my darling, the dark is your keeper
nothing tonight has the power to fear you

[Chorus]
Luca, my Luca, the night holds you tight
wrapped up in stillness and cradled in light
nothing can touch you, no shadow, no sound
Luca, my Luca, so safely you're found

[Outro]
The kettle sits quiet, its warmth tucked to rest
and you are the warmth that I love the very best
