Amber and Wool
Style: Folk cradle song

[Verse 1]
A single lamp is burning low against the kitchen wall
Grey threads of wool are catching all its warm and amber light
Nothing in this quiet house is asking you for anything at all
You can let your small hands rest now, you can say goodnight

[Chorus]
Kennedy, the dark is only softness wrapped around your bed
Close those heavy eyes, my love, there's nowhere else to be
You were made for gentle hours and for being safely fed
Kennedy, you carry all my quiet melody

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past the window frost is settling on the sill
Here inside it's only breathing, slow and warm and true
Every worry of the day has gone completely still
There is nothing in this whole wide night that isn't holding you

[Pre-chorus]
Feel how heavy sleep is pulling gently at your chest
Hear how soft the house has gone around your little rest
Let the amber light be all the answer you request

[Chorus]
Kennedy, the dark is only softness wrapped around your bed
Close those heavy eyes, my love, there's nowhere else to be
You were made for gentle hours and for being safely fed
Kennedy, you carry all my quiet melody

[Bridge]
Hush now, nothing needs deciding before the morning comes
Rest inside the stillness that this whole house has become

[Chorus]
Kennedy, the dark is only softness wrapped around your bed
Close those heavy eyes, my love, there's nowhere else to be
You were made for gentle hours and for being safely fed
Kennedy, you carry all my quiet melody

[Outro]
Sleep now while the lamp still glows so soft along the floor
You are loved as gently as that light, and always more
