Wicker and Warmth
Style: Gentle acoustic

[Verse 1]
Wicker creaks softly under the weight of the evening
Floorboards are settling, easy and slow
Nothing tonight needs mending or leaving
Just you, held close, in the hush and the glow

[Pre-chorus]
Outside the wind is only a whisper
Somewhere a kettle has just gone still
Close your eyes now, let the room grow softer

[Chorus]
Teresa, the night is folding round you gently
Nothing can reach you, nothing will
You are the warmest thing in this whole house, Teresa
Sleep now, the world can wait until

[Verse 2]
Cold radiator, quiet now beside us
Its work is done, and so is the day
You are the reason this small room feels lighter
Breathing you in as the shadows lay

[Pre-chorus]
Outside the wind is only a whisper
Somewhere a kettle has just gone still
Close your eyes now, let the room grow softer

[Chorus]
Teresa, the night is folding round you gently
Nothing can reach you, nothing will
You are the warmest thing in this whole house, Teresa
Sleep now, the world can wait until

[Bridge]
Every creak of the chair is a small kind of holding
Every breath that you take is enough

[Chorus]
Teresa, the night is folding round you gently
Nothing can reach you, nothing will
You are the warmest thing in this whole house, Teresa
Sleep now, the world can wait until

[Outro]
Let the wicker keep creaking, low and unhurried
You are safe here, Teresa, and loved
