Copper and Dust
Style: Ambient wash

[Verse 1]
Somewhere a copper wire hums soft above the floor
Catching a little dust while you drift near the door
Small dials glowing low like a sleepy amber star
Nothing tonight can reach you, not one thing so far

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the house breathes slow around your little bed
Every quiet corner is watching over your head
Close your eyes gently, let the soft dark carry you in

[Chorus]
Mali, the night is warm and it wants you to rest
Sleep finds you softest when you're held against a chest
Mali, the whole wide dark is gentle now for you
There's nothing in this room that isn't tender through and through

[Verse 2]
Under the window the wire keeps its patient hum
Waiting so quiet for the morning light to come
You are the warmest thing this whole small house can hold
Wrapped up in blankets softer than the coldest cold

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the house breathes slow around your little bed
Every quiet corner is watching over your head
Close your eyes gently, let the soft dark carry you in

[Chorus]
Mali, the night is warm and it wants you to rest
Sleep finds you softest when you're held against a chest
Mali, the whole wide dark is gentle now for you
There's nothing in this room that isn't tender through and through

[Bridge]
Let every small sound settle like dust upon a shelf
You never have to carry this quiet by yourself
Rest now, you are cradled, you are counted, you are known

[Chorus]
Mali, the night is warm and it wants you to rest
Sleep finds you softest when you're held against a chest
Mali, the whole wide dark is gentle now for you
There's nothing in this room that isn't tender through and through

[Outro]
Somewhere that copper wire is humming soft and low
Sleep now, my Mali, safe in the gentle glow
