Wool and Quiet
Style: Humming choir

[Verse 1]
Somewhere near you a needle rises and falls so slow
Threads of wool going quiet as the lamp burns low
Every stitch is a promise that only you would know
Made to keep you warmer than the wind could ever go

[Pre-chorus]
Nothing in this room is asking you to wake
Every sound tonight is soft for your own sake
So let your breathing settle into all the peace we make

[Chorus]
Christine, the dark is gentle when you're held this near
Nothing in the shadows has a reason to appear
Rest inside the quiet, let the whole wide night grow clear
There is nowhere safer for Christine than right here

[Verse 2]
The wool moves over fabric like a tide too small to see
Rising with a rhythm slower than a heartbeat has to be
Nothing in this house tonight is rushing you or me
We could stay like this till morning, easy as can be

[Pre-chorus]
No clock is asking anything of you tonight
Every hour is soft and every hour feels right
So close your eyes and drift into the warm and fading light

[Chorus]
Christine, the dark is gentle when you're held this near
Nothing in the shadows has a reason to appear
Rest inside the quiet, let the whole wide night grow clear
There is nowhere safer for Christine than right here

[Bridge]
Somebody is watching long after you have gone to sleep
Somebody will keep this small room warm and deep

[Chorus]
Christine, the dark is gentle when you're held this near
Nothing in the shadows has a reason to appear
Rest inside the quiet, let the whole wide night grow clear
There is nowhere safer for Christine than right here

[Outro]
Somewhere the thread is still, the needle finally laid down
Sleep now, Christine, safe and steady, wrapped in warmth and gone from sound
