Grey Wool Fringe
Style: Music box

[Verse 1]
Grey wool fringe is trailing soft across your little woolen socks
Underneath the blanket you are curling up so warm and small
Nothing in this whole wide room could ever wish you harm
Down you settle deeper while the candle starts to lose its glow

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the day go drifting out the door
Nothing left to carry, nothing waiting to be solved
Just this quiet, just this warmth, just you and sleep once more

[Chorus]
Halima, the night is soft and nothing here will hurt you
Sleep is only kindness wrapped around you like a glove
Sweetest Halima, there is nowhere safer you could be
Rest now, little Halima, wrapped in all this love

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past the window all the stars are settling into place
Your small feet are hidden warm beneath the wool and given rest
Every little sound tonight is gentle, nothing to be feared
Sleep is coming closer now like water rising slow

[Chorus]
Halima, the night is soft and nothing here will hurt you
Sleep is only kindness wrapped around you like a glove
Sweetest Halima, there is nowhere safer you could be
Rest now, little Halima, wrapped in all this love

[Bridge]
Nobody could love a softer thing than you asleep
Hold that thought and let it carry you down deep

[Chorus]
Halima, the night is soft and nothing here will hurt you
Sleep is only kindness wrapped around you like a glove
Sweetest Halima, there is nowhere safer you could be
Rest now, little Halima, wrapped in all this love

[Outro]
Grey wool fringe still trailing soft while every light goes low
Sleep now, sleep now, there is nowhere else you need to go
