Wool and Lamplight
Style: Rocking chair waltz

[Verse 1]
The lamp burns low across your sleeping knees tonight
Wool threads are catching every bit of amber glow
I wrap you up so nothing dims your gentle light
You are the softest thing this quiet house will know

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the day slip out beyond the door
Your breathing slows and settles like a tide going still
There is nothing left for you to carry anymore

[Chorus]
Amira, sleep is coming soft and slow and near
Nobody in this whole wide world could love you clearer
Rest your head, there's nothing in the dark to fear
With every year that passes you grow only dearer

[Verse 2]
The small lamp hums a colour warm as honeyed thread
It never asks a thing of you, it just stays lit
I'll keep it burning gently right beside your bed
So even in your dreaming you can still feel it

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the day slip out beyond the door
Your breathing slows and settles like a tide going still
There is nothing left for you to carry anymore

[Chorus]
Amira, sleep is coming soft and slow and near
Nobody in this whole wide world could love you clearer
Rest your head, there's nothing in the dark to fear
With every year that passes you grow only dearer

[Bridge]
Whatever colour morning brings will find you held
No corner of the night was ever yours to fear alone

[Chorus]
Amira, sleep is coming soft and slow and near
Nobody in this whole wide world could love you clearer
Rest your head, there's nothing in the dark to fear
With every year that passes you grow only dearer

[Outro]
The lamp will dim to nothing while you drift so deep and free
Still wrapped in every warm thread that was ever spun for thee
