The Warm Beneath the Floor
Style: Harp lullaby

[Verse 1]
The brass along the floor is holding on to daylight
Softly where the cold wool carpet meets the wall
You are curled up small beneath a blanket made for keeping
Nothing in this room will let you fall

[Pre-chorus]
Listen how the house has gone as quiet as a heartbeat
Every corner settling to hold you safe till morning
Close your eyes and let the hush come pouring

[Chorus]
Victoria, the light is low and gentle now
Nothing in the dark tonight can find you here
Victoria, you're held by every corner of this room
Sleep is closer now than any fear

[Verse 2]
The skirting glows a soft and steady yellow through the shadows
While the carpet's cooler edges fade from view
Somewhere between the warm brass and the quiet
Sleep is waiting patiently for you

[Bridge]
You are the warmest thing this whole house carries
Long after every little light goes low
Rest now, let the stillness carry all you are tonight

[Chorus]
Victoria, the light is low and gentle now
Nothing in the dark tonight can find you here
Victoria, you're held by every corner of this room
Sleep is closer now than any fear

[Outro]
The brass will still be glowing when the morning finds you
Warm and safe, exactly where you always are
