Wool Fringe
Style: Cello cradle

[Verse 1]
Trailing soft below the rail where all your dreaming waits
Something warm is gathered up to hold you while you rest
Quiet falls in folds of grey across these old worn boards
Sleep is close and you are safe behind these gentle gates

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the evening pull its blanket to your chin
Every little sound tonight is turning into song
And the dark is only waiting for you to drift in

[Chorus]
Diana, close your eyes, the night has come to keep you
Nothing in this quiet house was ever built to hurt you
Soft as wool against the floor, this calm was made for you
Diana, you are loved so deep that sleep cannot outreach you

[Verse 2]
Somewhere near your feet the tassels settle into stillness
Watching over you the way the old oak watches down
Breathing slows to match the hush that settles on the household
You were always going to be the softest thing in it

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the evening pull its blanket to your chin
Every little sound tonight is turning into song
And the dark is only waiting for you to drift in

[Chorus]
Diana, close your eyes, the night has come to keep you
Nothing in this quiet house was ever built to hurt you
Soft as wool against the floor, this calm was made for you
Diana, you are loved so deep that sleep cannot outreach you

[Bridge]
Rest your small weight into mine, there is nowhere safer
No one measures how you're loved, it simply stays and stays

[Chorus]
Diana, close your eyes, the night has come to keep you
Nothing in this quiet house was ever built to hurt you
Soft as wool against the floor, this calm was made for you
Diana, you are loved so deep that sleep cannot outreach you

[Outro]
Somewhere near the floor the fringe lies still beneath the oak rail
Sleep now, you are held here, and you always will be, always
