The Kitchen Light
Style: Rain and piano

[Verse 1]
The kitchen breathes out slow while the last light dims to amber
The towels hang soft and damp over handles worn and warm
Somewhere a small flame flickers steady, patient, never in danger
And you are held here safer than you'll ever know you are

[Pre-chorus]
So let the whole house settle round you, quiet, close and low
Let every worry drift like steam that curls and then is gone
Because there's nowhere safer than this glow you're wrapped in now

[Chorus]
Wren, the night has come to hold you gently
Softly as the pilot light stays lit
Wren, you're the warmest thing within it
Sleep now, you were always meant for this

[Verse 2]
The kettle's hush has settled and the dark leans in so kindly
Every corner of this kitchen folds itself around your rest
Nothing here will wake you, nothing here will ever find you
Only warmth, only the hum of home that loves you best

[Pre-chorus]
So let the whole house settle round you, quiet, close and low
Let every worry drift like steam that curls and then is gone
Because there's nowhere safer than this glow you're wrapped in now

[Chorus]
Wren, the night has come to hold you gently
Softly as the pilot light stays lit
Wren, you're the warmest thing within it
Sleep now, you were always meant for this

[Bridge]
Even when the lights go low and the whole house turns to hush
You are the flame that never wavers, never needs to rush

[Chorus]
Wren, the night has come to hold you gently
Softly as the pilot light stays lit
Wren, you're the warmest thing within it
Sleep now, you were always meant for this

[Outro]
The towels sway soft above the quiet, steady glow
Sleep now, little flame, we'll keep you warm till morning
