The Rug Glows Warm
Style: Rocking chair waltz

[Verse 1]
The old boards creak beneath a rug that glows so gold and slow
Underneath your feet the whole house hums a tune so soft and low
Every corner of this room was built to keep you warm and still
There is nowhere safer in the world than right here on this sill

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes and let the day float gently out the door
Let the light beneath the floor hum softer than before
Rest a little longer now, there's nothing to be for

[Chorus]
Nico, the whole house glows just to keep you near
Every creaking board says softly, you are dear
Sleep now, little Nico, let the warmth stay true
There is nothing in this world that loves the way I love you

[Verse 2]
The stripes upon the rug run soft like rivers made of light
They carry all the hush and colour gently into night
Somewhere far beneath the floor a quiet warmth begins to spread
It climbs up through the timber just to tuck you into bed

[Chorus]
Nico, the whole house glows just to keep you near
Every creaking board says softly, you are dear
Sleep now, little Nico, let the warmth stay true
There is nothing in this world that loves the way I love you

[Bridge]
Hush now, let the glow beneath you carry every sound away
Nothing here can touch you, you are held here till the day

[Chorus]
Nico, the whole house glows just to keep you near
Every creaking board says softly, you are dear
Sleep now, little Nico, let the warmth stay true
There is nothing in this world that loves the way I love you

[Outro]
The rug still glows so softly as the house breathes low and slow
Sleep on, my dear one, in the warmth of that gentle glow
