The Radiator Hums
Style: Vibraphone drift

[Verse 1]
The radiator clicks so softly in the corner of the room
It hums a tune that only quiet houses ever know
And you are curled up warm beneath the blankets in the gloom
While all the tired light goes gold and then goes low

[Pre-chorus]
The whole wide house breathes slow around you now
Every worry of the day has finally set down soft
There is nowhere you need be but here, right here somehow

[Chorus]
Rory, Rory, close your eyes and drift away
Nothing in this room can ever touch you, no not one thing
Rory, you are held here till the break of day
Sleep now, little Rory, let the quiet sing

[Verse 2]
Outside the window every star has banked its little fire
The wind has learned to whisper so it does not wake the street
And you don't need to know the way the world will still require
Just that this small room keeps you safe and warm and sweet

[Chorus]
Rory, Rory, close your eyes and drift away
Nothing in this room can ever touch you, no not one thing
Rory, you are held here till the break of day
Sleep now, little Rory, let the quiet sing

[Bridge]
Let the radiator click its slow and steady song
It will keep the watch till morning comes to call you home
You are loved so gently, all night long

[Chorus]
Rory, Rory, close your eyes and drift away
Nothing in this room can ever touch you, no not one thing
Rory, you are held here till the break of day
Sleep now, little Rory, let the quiet sing

[Outro]
The radiator hums its low and faithful lullaby
Sleep now, you are safe, and morning's drawing nigh
