Tassels in the Quiet
Style: Gentle acoustic

[Verse 1]
The woollen tassels sway against the wooden chair
slow as breathing, slow as the falling night
Every little swing is a promise hung in air
that you are held and everything's alright

[Pre-chorus]
Quiet spreads like water through this room tonight
Tassels rest quietly against the wooden arm
and I will stay to keep you safe till light

[Chorus]
Emma, Emma, close your eyes and rest
night gathers close and wraps you soft in gold
Emma, you are loved, you are so blessed
safe within the warmth this house will hold

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past the window the stars begin to climb
watching over you as sleep comes soft and slow
An old chair creaks in a gentle, steady time
and every creak reminds you, you are loved, you know

[Bridge]
Every worry drifts away like dust caught in light
you are wrapped in warmth that holds you through the night

[Chorus]
Emma, Emma, close your eyes and rest
night gathers close and wraps you soft in gold
Emma, you are loved, you are so blessed
safe within the warmth this house will hold

[Outro]
Tassels still now, swinging soft and slow
Emma, sleep in peace, for love will always grow
