Wool and Lamplight
Style: Vibraphone drift

[Verse 1]
Lamplight is falling soft where the wool threads swing and sway
Someone is watching over you at the close of day
Under this roof you're held while the hours turn to rest
You are the quiet centre of every gentle nest

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the house is dimming, the world has learned to wait
Your breathing is the softest sound behind the quiet gate
Sleep is arriving slowly, so easy, sweet and late

[Chorus]
Brad, you are the warmth this whole house is keeping safe
Nothing in the dark tonight could ever make you afraid
Close your eyes, my Brad, and let the night be glad
You are the calmest thing this quiet home has had

[Verse 2]
Old shoes are resting still beneath the lamp's low glow
Nothing needs to hurry now, nowhere left to go
Wrapped in every colour that the wool has ever spun
You are held as gently as the day was when begun

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the house is dimming, the world has learned to wait
Your breathing is the softest sound behind the quiet gate
Sleep is arriving slowly, so easy, sweet and late

[Chorus]
Brad, you are the warmth this whole house is keeping safe
Nothing in the dark tonight could ever make you afraid
Close your eyes, my Brad, and let the night be glad
You are the calmest thing this quiet home has had

[Bridge]
Every thread above you moves so slow it barely stirs
Nothing in this room tonight would ever cause you harm

[Chorus]
Brad, you are the warmth this whole house is keeping safe
Nothing in the dark tonight could ever make you afraid
Close your eyes, my Brad, and let the night be glad
You are the calmest thing this quiet home has had

[Outro]
The wool still sways above you as the lamp begins to dim
Sleep well now, dear Brad, you are so deeply loved within
