Kettle Light
Style: Soft piano

[Verse 1]
The kitchen is dark but for one small light on the counter
The kettle sits cold and the whole house has gone quiet
Somewhere beyond the window the last stars are climbing
Everything settles the moment you're near, my love

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the day has folded itself soft and small
I'll carry you up through the dim of the hallway
And lay you down where the dark holds nothing but calm

[Chorus]
Oscar, my Oscar, the night belongs to you
Nothing can touch you, nothing can follow you through
Close your eyes now, let the quiet come near
Oscar, you're held here, however far you'd go

[Verse 2]
The floor creaks once as I cross it soft in the shadows
Your breathing slows like the hush after a long day
I'll leave the small light burning low on the counter
So morning finds its way back gently to you

[Bridge]
Sleep isn't far, it's only just past the window
Warm as a blanket pulled up close round your shoulder

[Chorus]
Oscar, my Oscar, the night belongs to you
Nothing can touch you, nothing can follow you through
Close your eyes now, let the quiet come near
Oscar, you're held here, however far you'd go

[Outro]
The kettle stays cold and the small light stays burning
Sleep now, my Oscar, you're safe till the morning
