Lace and Wicker
Style: Fingerpicked night

[Verse 1]
Lace is drifting soft against the cold and quiet glass
watching over where you sleep as gentle minutes pass
wrapped inside your basket, warm beneath the fading light
you are held so closely through the turning of the night

[Chorus]
Maria, Maria, hush now, close your eyes
rest inside the calm where every worry quietly dies
you are loved beyond the reach of any counted star
sleep, Maria, sleep, you're safer than you know you are

[Verse 2]
Wind is barely moving, just enough to stir the thread
softly it goes dancing just above your sleepy head
nothing in this room will ever come to pull you far
you are wrapped in something gentler than the coldest star

[Pre-chorus]
Breathe now, let the evening settle slow around your chest
feel how every shadow only wants to see you rest
close your eyes a little more and drift where dreams are best

[Chorus]
Maria, Maria, hush now, close your eyes
rest inside the calm where every worry quietly dies
you are loved beyond the reach of any counted star
sleep, Maria, sleep, you're safer than you know you are

[Bridge]
Nothing here will ever come to take this moment away
you were made to feel this warm at the ending of the day
hold on to the quiet, let it carry you along

[Chorus]
Maria, Maria, hush now, close your eyes
rest inside the calm where every worry quietly dies
you are loved beyond the reach of any counted star
sleep, Maria, sleep, you're safer than you know you are

[Outro]
Lace will keep on drifting soft against the quiet pane
long after you have fallen deep and safe again
