Wool and Dust
Style: Rocking chair waltz

[Verse 1]
Dust drifts slow through the gold of the afternoon light
Wool threads catch on the corduroy fold of my knee
You settle in like the hush before nightfall
And the whole tired day breathes out and lets you be

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, the house is quiet and still
Every shadow tonight is only a friend
And the dark is just softness that holds you

[Chorus]
Eva, the night is a blanket drawn over the world
You are the warmth that the darkness cannot ever take
Sleep now, Eva, there's nothing to fear here
I will be near you for as long as you wake

[Verse 2]
The lamp throws a gold that pools soft on the floor
Your breathing has slowed to the pace of the rain
Somewhere the wind is just rocking the branches
And nothing tonight will come near you again

[Chorus]
Eva, the night is a blanket drawn over the world
You are the warmth that the darkness cannot ever take
Sleep now, Eva, there's nothing to fear here
I will be near you for as long as you wake

[Bridge]
Every small breath that you take is a wonder to me
Rest now, and let all the stars keep the watch

[Chorus]
Eva, the night is a blanket drawn over the world
You are the warmth that the darkness cannot ever take
Sleep now, Eva, there's nothing to fear here
I will be near you for as long as you wake

[Outro]
The dust has gone still now, the light long since faded
But you are still held, and you're safe, and you're mine
