Soft as Wicker
Style: Harp lullaby

[Verse 1]
Somewhere a wicker chair sighs low against the floor
Warmth is folding round you like it did before
A quiet hallway holds its breath tonight
Sleep is waiting gently by the door

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the humming of the house be all you need
Every little creak is just the night here settling in
Close your eyes and drift where nothing asks you to be seen

[Chorus]
Ashley, the dark is only softness in disguise
Nothing in this house would ever wish you harm or lies
Rest here, Ashley, where the quiet loves you madly
You are held here safe until the morning light will rise

[Verse 2]
Under woollen blankets warm as summer come to stay
Even shadows move so slowly they forget to sway
Nothing hurries here, no clock, no chime
This is where your worries drift away

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the humming of the house be all you need
Every little creak is just the night here settling in
Close your eyes and drift where nothing asks you to be seen

[Chorus]
Ashley, the dark is only softness in disguise
Nothing in this house would ever wish you harm or lies
Rest here, Ashley, where the quiet loves you madly
You are held here safe until the morning light will rise

[Bridge]
No need to keep your small eyes open, love is standing guard
Whatever waits tomorrow can wait a little longer yet

[Chorus]
Ashley, the dark is only softness in disguise
Nothing in this house would ever wish you harm or lies
Rest here, Ashley, where the quiet loves you madly
You are held here safe until the morning light will rise

[Outro]
Somewhere that same old chair still creaks its slow goodnight
Sleep now, you are carried gently till the light
