Fringe Threads
Style: Kalimba night

[Verse 1]
The fringe of the blanket lies soft across my lap tonight
I trail it so gently along your tiny drowsy hand
Every thread here is holding you steady, holding you tight
And nothing tonight is too heavy for you to withstand

[Chorus]
Lana, the dark is a quiet and welcoming room
Hush now, my Lana, the stars have all settled in place
Lana, you're wrapped in the warmth of the wide gentle moon
Sleep now and know you are held in a tender embrace

[Verse 2]
The lamp in the corner is dimming to amber and gold
Your breath finds a rhythm as slow as the tide going out
Nothing can reach you, my love, while these arms gently hold
There's nothing tonight in this room to be wary about

[Pre-chorus]
Close now your eyes, let the evening grow soft as a sigh
The blanket lies warm and its edges are combed with my thumb
Rest here a while as the quiet keeps drifting on by

[Chorus]
Lana, the dark is a quiet and welcoming room
Hush now, my Lana, the stars have all settled in place
Lana, you're wrapped in the warmth of the wide gentle moon
Sleep now and know you are held in a tender embrace

[Bridge]
Somewhere a clock keeps a soft steady beat through the night
Somewhere the wind lays its head down and stills at your door

[Chorus]
Lana, the dark is a quiet and welcoming room
Hush now, my Lana, the stars have all settled in place
Lana, you're wrapped in the warmth of the wide gentle moon
Sleep now and know you are held in a tender embrace

[Outro]
The fringe of the blanket still rests where your small hand had been
Sleep well, little Lana, and dream of the soft and serene
