Under the Wool Rug Quiet
Style: Rain and piano

[Verse 1]
The floorboards creak so softly beneath the old wool rug
and every step I take is careful, slow and low
I carry all my love to you inside this hug
the hallway holds its breath, and lets the quiet grow

[Pre-chorus]
Somewhere past the shadows a small light starts to glow
I feel your breathing settle, feel the whole house slow
and everything I am is leaning close to you

[Chorus]
Layla, close your eyes now, let the dark be kind
you are held so gently, you are always mine
nothing here can touch you, nothing you need find
Layla, sleep is coming soft as any Shayla lullaby line

[Verse 2]
The rain begins its tapping on the window glass so light
like fingers keeping rhythm just to help you drift along
I stand here in the doorway watching over you tonight
and my heart repeats your name like some old gentle song

[Chorus]
Layla, close your eyes now, let the dark be kind
you are held so gently, you are always mine
nothing here can touch you, nothing you need find
Layla, sleep is coming soft as any Shayla lullaby line

[Bridge]
No sound but rain and breathing, no need for anything more
just warmth beneath the blankets and the hush behind the door
I will be right here beside you until the morning comes

[Chorus]
Layla, close your eyes now, let the dark be kind
you are held so gently, you are always mine
nothing here can touch you, nothing you need find
Layla, sleep is coming soft as any Shayla lullaby line

[Outro]
The floorboards settle quiet beneath the old wool rug
and I stay here softly with you, folded in this hug
