The Radiator Hums
Style: Celesta and strings

[Verse 1]
The ticket stubs have fallen yellow on the rubber floor
and nobody is going anywhere tonight
you are curled up safe where the warm air gathers slow
under a lamp that glows a gentle light

[Chorus]
Tanya, the whole wide world can wait outside this door
sleep is a boat and you're the one it's keeping
close your eyes and let the quiet settle on the floor
Tanya, this is the hour made for sleeping

[Verse 2]
Somewhere a train is calling out to tracks you'll never see
but here the radiator hums its low goodnight
you don't need any ticket to be somewhere you should be
held in a room that's holding you so tight

[Pre-chorus]
Feel how the warmth is rising slow around your little bed
listen how softly all the day is fading
something is settling gently just above your head

[Chorus]
Tanya, the whole wide world can wait outside this door
sleep is a boat and you're the one it's keeping
close your eyes and let the quiet settle on the floor
Tanya, this is the hour made for sleeping

[Bridge]
No one is leaving, nothing here will drift away
you are the stillest, safest thing I know
stay in this warm and golden little hush till day

[Chorus]
Tanya, the whole wide world can wait outside this door
sleep is a boat and you're the one it's keeping
close your eyes and let the quiet settle on the floor
Tanya, this is the hour made for sleeping

[Outro]
The last stub settles softly where the warm light lands
sleep now, Tanya, safe within these hands
