Soft as Wool
Style: Rain and piano

[Verse 1]
The lamp is turned down low beside the old pine chair
A woollen blanket waits to wrap you soft and slow
Every little sound tonight dissolves into the air
There is nowhere in the world you need to go

[Pre-chorus]
Your breathing finds its rhythm like the rain against the pane
Somewhere past the window the whole world turns down its light
And all that you are holding starts to loosen and to drain

[Chorus]
Efa, the dark is only a blanket pulled up warm
Kept safe within these walls while the hours drift on by
Nothing out there tonight can come and do you harm
Efa, you are held here till the morning finds the sky

[Verse 2]
The pine armrest is worn soft from years of quiet hands
Somebody always waited here to see you safely through
Sleep is just a small boat pulled gently onto sand
Nothing in this room tonight has any claim on you

[Pre-chorus]
Your breathing finds its rhythm like the rain against the pane
Somewhere past the window the whole world turns down its light
And all that you are holding starts to loosen and to drain

[Chorus]
Efa, the dark is only a blanket pulled up warm
Kept safe within these walls while the hours drift on by
Nothing out there tonight can come and do you harm
Efa, you are held here till the morning finds the sky

[Bridge]
Rest now, there is nothing left for you to carry
Every worry can wait quietly by the door till light

[Chorus]
Efa, the dark is only a blanket pulled up warm
Kept safe within these walls while the hours drift on by
Nothing out there tonight can come and do you harm
Efa, you are held here till the morning finds the sky

[Outro]
The lamp goes soft and low beside the old pine chair
Sleep now, Efa, you are wrapped in warmth and gentle care
