Track 2 of the single Night Ferry, Sleepless City · 2025
Hospital Window, Sleepless City
“This is the corridor on the fourth floor, the hum of the lights and a cup of tea nobody finished. I kept it hushed and lo-fi because that's how the night sounds when you're waiting for news.”

Lyrics
Fourth floor, the corridor hums low Paper cup of tea gone cold Down below the city doesn't sleep Little lights that blink and hold A taxi sweeps across the rain A baker's window turns on gold Everyone awake tonight Is keeping watch for someone's soul Sleepless city, shine for them Every window, every lamp Hold the ones who wait and wonder Through the quiet and the damp Morning's coming, slow and kind Stay close, I'm right here Sleepless city, softly shine Till the sky is clear A nurse goes by on silent shoes She smiles and nods and moves along Somewhere a monitor keeps time Like a slow and steady song Sleepless city, shine for them Every window, every lamp Hold the ones who wait and wonder Through the quiet and the damp Morning's coming, slow and kind Stay close, I'm right here Sleepless city, softly shine Till the sky is clear I press my hand against the glass It's cool and bright with rain Every light out there's a person Breathing slow and holding on Holding on Sleepless city, shine for them Every window, every lamp Hold the ones who wait and wonder Through the quiet and the damp Morning's coming, slow and kind Stay close, I'm right here Sleepless city, softly shine Till the sky is clear Softly shine Till the sky is clear
