Dark Wool, Warm Knees
Style: Accordion cradle

[Verse 1]
Dark wool is tangling soft around the needles resting here
and the whole wide house has gone as quiet as a held breath
Every little knot will loosen if you give it time, my dear
so let your eyes grow heavy now, there's nothing left to fret

[Chorus]
Juliana, sleep is calling soft and low
Wrapped up warm as evening settles into you
Close your eyes, Juliana, let the night grow slow
you are held, you are certain, through and through

[Verse 2]
The needles rest across warm knees, they've stopped their gentle click
and the lamp is turned down low to match the hush you're in
Nothing in this room will hurry you, there's no need to be quick
just the thread of one more day being folded soft and thin

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the day unspool and drift away from you
every worry loosened like a knot picked slow and true
and the warmth is staying with you, closer than you knew

[Chorus]
Juliana, sleep is calling soft and low
Wrapped up warm as evening settles into you
Close your eyes, Juliana, let the night grow slow
you are held, you are certain, through and through

[Bridge]
Nothing needs finishing before the morning comes
you are loved in the stillness same as in the sun

[Chorus]
Juliana, sleep is calling soft and low
Wrapped up warm as evening settles into you
Close your eyes, Juliana, let the night grow slow
you are held, you are certain, through and through

[Outro]
The wool lies still across the knees that kept you near
sleep on, Juliana, you are safe and you are dear
