Brass Key
Style: Accordion cradle

[Verse 1]
There's a brass key resting quiet on its little hook tonight
And you are the reason it hangs so calm and still
Every door in this house has already done its work
Now it waits for morning while you rest until you will

[Pre-chorus]
The hallway keeps its shadows soft and folded near the wall
No need to wander further, no need to fear at all
Close your eyes now, Winnie, let the whole house exhale

[Chorus]
Winnie, Winnie, hush now, sleep is many kinds of kind
Not a penny of the dark can touch you where you lie
You're the finny little dreamer drifting soft behind your mind
Winnie, hold the quiet close and let the night pass by

[Verse 2]
Somewhere in the cabinet the brass is going cool and dim
And nothing in this house will need to move till day
You are held together by the softest kind of hinge
One that only opens when it's time for you to stay

[Bridge]
No key could ever open half of what you carry here
Just rest, and let the darkness turn to something near

[Chorus]
Winnie, Winnie, hush now, sleep is many kinds of kind
Not a penny of the dark can touch you where you lie
You're the finny little dreamer drifting soft behind your mind
Winnie, hold the quiet close and let the night pass by

[Outro]
Somewhere a small brass key is hanging steady on its hook
Sleep now, Winnie, you are safe in every corner it once took
