Wool and Quiet
Style: Gentle acoustic

[Verse 1]
The wool fringe brushes soft against the grey of quiet trousers
Your small hand curls around a thread and holds it tight
I feel your breathing slowing as the lamp light dims to nothing
And every worry folds away into the fading light

[Pre-chorus]
The room goes softer, hushed and warm as evening settles round us
Your eyelids heavy, drifting now to somewhere calm and slow
I'll stay right here and hold you close till morning finds us

[Chorus]
Sleep now, Dominic, the night is calm and kind
There's nothing here to fear, no storm you'll ever find
Rest now, Dominic, you're held and you're not alone
This quiet room tonight is yours, is safe, is home

[Verse 2]
You yawn against my shoulder while the clock ticks soft and slowly
The wool fringe settles still now, resting where it lay
I hum a tune I don't quite know but somehow it feels holy
And all the noise of daylight simply drifts away

[Bridge]
However far the morning is, however dark it seems
You're wrapped in something steady now that carries you through dreams
No harm will find you here tonight, no need to be afraid

[Chorus]
Sleep now, Dominic, the night is calm and kind
There's nothing here to fear, no storm you'll ever find
Rest now, Dominic, you're held and you're not alone
This quiet room tonight is yours, is safe, is home

[Outro]
The wool fringe rests so still now, soft against the grey
Sleep on, my dear one, sleep until the light of day
