Soft as Wool
Style: Vibraphone drift

[Verse 1]
The wool hangs still where the old chair waits in shadow
Every thread is soft and none of them will fray
You are wrapped in something warmer than you know
And the dark tonight has nothing left to say

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes, the room is settling into quiet
Every breath is pulling softer than before
Sleep is coming closer with the light turned low

[Chorus]
Dakota, the night is folding gentle around you
Nothing here will ever pull away
You are held the way the fringe holds shadow
Dakota, safe until the break of day

[Verse 2]
The armchair keeps its shape while the whole house dreams
Nothing needs to move, nothing needs to stir
You are curled up smaller than the smallest seams
and still the whole wide dark belongs to you, I'm sure

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes, the room is settling into quiet
Every breath is pulling softer than before
Sleep is coming closer with the light turned low

[Chorus]
Dakota, the night is folding gentle around you
Nothing here will ever pull away
You are held the way the fringe holds shadow
Dakota, safe until the break of day

[Bridge]
Rest now, there is nothing left to carry
Every worry has already drifted far

[Chorus]
Dakota, the night is folding gentle around you
Nothing here will ever pull away
You are held the way the fringe holds shadow
Dakota, safe until the break of day

[Outro]
The wool still hangs soft where the old chair is dreaming
And you are the warmest thing that this house has ever known
