Blue Light, Quiet House
Style: Soft piano

[Verse 1]
Somewhere a kettle sighs itself down to sleep on the stove
Blue light spills soft where the fridge door was closed just before
Quiet moves through the house like a hand smoothing sheets
And I carry you home to the warmest place that I know

[Chorus]
Raymond, the night has gone soft and it's holding you still
Nothing can reach you now, nothing ever will
Sleep is a river that carries you far and unafraid
Close your eyes, Raymond, you're already safe

[Verse 2]
Every small sound in the dark is just the house settling down
Shadows lie easy along the cool kitchen floor
You don't need to open your eyes to know you're not alone
I am right here, love, same as I was before

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the whole world has quietly turned itself low
Even the light in the corner is dimming its glow
And sleep is already curling in close to your side

[Chorus]
Raymond, the night has gone soft and it's holding you still
Nothing can reach you now, nothing ever will
Sleep is a river that carries you far and unafraid
Close your eyes, Raymond, you're already safe

[Bridge]
Let the last warm hum of the kitchen fade away
Nothing you need is beyond this small room tonight

[Chorus]
Raymond, the night has gone soft and it's holding you still
Nothing can reach you now, nothing ever will
Sleep is a river that carries you far and unafraid
Close your eyes, Raymond, you're already safe

[Outro]
The kettle has cooled and the blue light has dimmed to a hush
And you are still held, little one, still held, still held
