Cool Floor, Warm Hands
Style: Glockenspiel

[Verse 1]
Bare feet find the cool of the floor beneath you now
Somewhere a brass handle holds its own small drop of rain
Softly the last light goes quiet, bowing to your slow breath
Nothing in this house is waiting, nothing brings you pain

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the hallway dim and settle round your feet
Every little sound tonight is folding into one
Close your eyes before the count of ten is through

[Chorus]
Niall, the whole wide house is holding still for you
Sleep is a mile of soft dark road we'll travel down together
Nothing needs to hurry, nothing needs to chase or chew
Niall, you are the warmest thing in any kind of weather

[Verse 2]
Somewhere behind you cools a handle you no longer need to hold
You've crossed the floor already, you are safe here in my arm
Every step tonight has led you closer to the fold
Nothing out there in the dark tonight can bring you harm

[Chorus]
Niall, the whole wide house is holding still for you
Sleep is a mile of soft dark road we'll travel down together
Nothing needs to hurry, nothing needs to chase or chew
Niall, you are the warmest thing in any kind of weather

[Bridge]
Rest your small head, let the night turn over slow and kind
Nobody needs you to be anything but sleepy now

[Chorus]
Niall, the whole wide house is holding still for you
Sleep is a mile of soft dark road we'll travel down together
Nothing needs to hurry, nothing needs to chase or chew
Niall, you are the warmest thing in any kind of weather

[Outro]
Somewhere that handle has gone still and dry and done its dripping
Sleep now, love, the whole house breathes in time with your soft breathing
