The Wool Trails Home
Style: Accordion cradle

[Verse 1]
A soft fringe of wool drags slow across the floor tonight
Trailing behind you like a hush that wants to stay
Every small sound in this room is turning gentle in the light
And I am watching over you the whole and easy way

[Chorus]
Albie, Albie, let the day float off your chest
Close your eyes now, let the quiet carry you along
You are held here, Albie, safer than you've ever guessed
Nothing in the dark tonight can do you any wrong

[Verse 2]
The blanket's edge is combing lines across the polished ground
Slow as breathing, slow as everything should be
There is nowhere you should hurry to, no reason to be found
Just this room, this warmth, this quiet holding you and me

[Pre-chorus]
Your small hand is loosening, your breathing settles low
The night is only kindness now, it isn't going anywhere
So let your worries empty out and let the stillness grow

[Chorus]
Albie, Albie, let the day float off your chest
Close your eyes now, let the quiet carry you along
You are held here, Albie, safer than you've ever guessed
Nothing in the dark tonight can do you any wrong

[Bridge]
Sleep is only love wearing its softest, quietest coat
You are wanted here, and wanted is enough to keep you warm

[Chorus]
Albie, Albie, let the day float off your chest
Close your eyes now, let the quiet carry you along
You are held here, Albie, safer than you've ever guessed
Nothing in the dark tonight can do you any wrong

[Outro]
Somewhere the wool fringe rests now, still against the floor
And you are resting too, held here, needing nothing more
