Wool and Worn Denim
Style: Vibraphone drift

[Verse 1]
The fringe on my knee lies so still in the lamplight
Your breathing has settled to something so slight
Worn denim holds warm where you're curled up and small
Everything gentle is gathered here right

[Chorus]
Frances, the night has folded its hands around you
Every soft shadow is holding you too
Nothing can reach you, nothing will chase your dreaming
Frances, sleep deep, love has found you

[Verse 2]
The wool hangs quiet, not a thread of it stirring
Your small weight settles like snow that's not hurrying
Nothing in this room is asking a thing of you
Only my arms, only stillness occurring

[Pre-chorus]
Somewhere a clock is letting the hours go slow
Somewhere the dark is learning how gently to flow
And here you are held while the whole house breathes low

[Chorus]
Frances, the night has folded its hands around you
Every soft shadow is holding you too
Nothing can reach you, nothing will chase your dreaming
Frances, sleep deep, love has found you

[Bridge]
No need to open your eyes to know that you're treasured
However this day was, however it measured
You are the calm that this whole house leans into

[Chorus]
Frances, the night has folded its hands around you
Every soft shadow is holding you too
Nothing can reach you, nothing will chase your dreaming
Frances, sleep deep, love has found you

[Outro]
The fringe will still hang when the morning comes stealing
You'll wake to this same quiet, held and unpeeling
