Wool Trailing Slow
Style: Cello cradle

[Verse 1]
The wool fringe drifts so slowly along the old wooden floor
soft as a whisper you barely could hear
every colour of that quilt was chosen just for you, Donald
and the dark outside tonight has nothing to fear

[Pre-chorus]
Your breathing slows to match the candle's gentle sway
the whole wide house is settling down to rest
and quiet wraps around you closer than the day

[Chorus]
Donald, the night is holding you so gently now
soft as the wool that trails along the floor
Donald, you are loved beyond what words can carry
safe in this room and needing nothing more

[Verse 2]
Somewhere a thread of wool has stopped its wandering path
curled at the edge where the shadows grow long
you are the warmest thing this whole house is keeping
tucked in as safe as a well remembered song

[Bridge]
Every stitch of that quilt was made with you in mind
let your small hands go still, let your worries unwind

[Chorus]
Donald, the night is holding you so gently now
soft as the wool that trails along the floor
Donald, you are loved beyond what words can carry
safe in this room and needing nothing more

[Outro]
Somewhere that fringe of wool has come to rest at last
and so, dear one, may you, as the night grows deep and vast
