Wool and Window Light
Style: Gentle acoustic

[Verse 1]
The orange light is catching on the wool thread by your bed
Soft and slow it settles like a hand upon your head
Every little colour holds a story left unsaid
And you are the warmest one of all the words I've read

[Pre-chorus]
Let the hush come over you, let the day fold down its light
Feel the quiet gather soft around you like the arms of night
There is nothing you must carry now, nothing left to fight

[Chorus]
Gordon, sleep beneath the light the window's letting through
Nothing in this whole wide dark could ever trouble you
Gordon, I will stay right here the whole night watching too
You're the calmest kind of wonder that this house has ever knew

[Verse 2]
The wool threads hold their colours even though the light is thin
Just like you hold something steady, quiet, deep within
Every thread of you is gentle, every thread akin
To the softest kind of courage that the evening tucks you in

[Chorus]
Gordon, sleep beneath the light the window's letting through
Nothing in this whole wide dark could ever trouble you
Gordon, I will stay right here the whole night watching too
You're the calmest kind of wonder that this house has ever knew

[Bridge]
Rest your small and steady heart, let the hours drift and blend
There is nothing you must finish, nothing you must mend

[Chorus]
Gordon, sleep beneath the light the window's letting through
Nothing in this whole wide dark could ever trouble you
Gordon, I will stay right here the whole night watching too
You're the calmest kind of wonder that this house has ever knew

[Outro]
The wool still holds its colour when the street light starts to fade
Sleep now, you are held as safely as the light the window made
