Tassels on the Floor
Style: Folk cradle song

[Verse 1]
Soft wool tassels sway and brush the old worn floor
Quiet little creaks are all I'm listening for
You are wrapped up warm where the lamplight barely glows
Sleep is coming gentle now, the way it always goes

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the house is settling into rest
Every corner of this room has learned you're blessed
Close your eyes and drift where the quiet holds you best

[Chorus]
Everett, my heart has never met
A love so steady, so easy to treasure it
Sleep now, Everett, forever yet
Safe in this warmth, I will not forget it

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past the window the whole wide night is still
Nothing here can reach you, nothing ever will
Wrapped in soft wool colours, tucked beneath the light
I will stay beside you through the long, slow night

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the house is settling into rest
Every corner of this room has learned you're blessed
Close your eyes and drift where the quiet holds you best

[Chorus]
Everett, my heart has never met
A love so steady, so easy to treasure it
Sleep now, Everett, forever yet
Safe in this warmth, I will not forget it

[Bridge]
Let the tassels sway, let the old floor creak
Nothing in this house was ever built to wake you

[Chorus]
Everett, my heart has never met
A love so steady, so easy to treasure it
Sleep now, Everett, forever yet
Safe in this warmth, I will not forget it

[Outro]
Somewhere the wool still sways above the wooden floor
Sleep now, my Everett, you are loved forevermore
