Wicker and Wool
Style: Kalimba night

[Verse 1]
The wicker creaks so softly as the evening settles in
Rocking slow above the floorboards, worn and warm within
Under wool the shadows gather, quiet, kind and deep
And you are held here safely, drifting close to sleep

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the day go, let your shoulders fall
Every little worry can wait beyond the wall
And the dark is only softness, calling you to rest

[Chorus]
Jesse, close your eyes now, let the night be kind
Nothing here can hurt you, nothing's left behind
Bessie moon is watching, gentle in the sky
Jesse, you are cherished, safe till morning light

[Verse 2]
The rugs lie thick and heavy where the lamplight barely reaches
Every creak of wicker something soft and low that teaches
Nothing in this room can touch the calm we're keeping
And you are loved past measure while the house is sleeping

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the day go, let your shoulders fall
Every little worry can wait beyond the wall
And the dark is only softness, calling you to rest

[Chorus]
Jesse, close your eyes now, let the night be kind
Nothing here can hurt you, nothing's left behind
Bessie moon is watching, gentle in the sky
Jesse, you are cherished, safe till morning light

[Bridge]
Somewhere past the window, stars are settling too
Quiet as a held breath, watching over you

[Chorus]
Jesse, close your eyes now, let the night be kind
Nothing here can hurt you, nothing's left behind
Bessie moon is watching, gentle in the sky
Jesse, you are cherished, safe till morning light

[Outro]
The wicker settles slower now, the creaking fades to still
Sleep on, dear Jesse, wrapped in wool and warmth until morning
