Wool Socks at the Door
Style: Humming choir

[Verse 1]
Softly I cross the floor to see you sleeping there
careful to keep my footsteps light upon the stair
You breathe so slow, so easy, tucked beneath the blankets warm
and nothing in this house tonight will do you any harm

[Chorus]
Max, my heart goes quiet when I watch you rest this way
Max, you make the darkest hour feel as soft as day
Sleep now, little steady one, let all your worries fall
for you are held and you are safe, the dearest of them all

[Verse 2]
The floorboards creak beneath my socks but you don't stir at all
held so deep in dreaming that the sound can't break the wall
I linger in the doorway just to watch your chest rise slow
and something in me settles too, though you may never know

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the whole wide house is leaning in to keep you still
every quiet corner of this night is on your side
so let the hum of sleep come rolling over you like tide

[Chorus]
Max, my heart goes quiet when I watch you rest this way
Max, you make the darkest hour feel as soft as day
Sleep now, little steady one, let all your worries fall
for you are held and you are safe, the dearest of them all

[Bridge]
Rest easy, the night has nowhere else to be but here
wrapped around you, soft and slow, until the light draws near

[Chorus]
Max, my heart goes quiet when I watch you rest this way
Max, you make the darkest hour feel as soft as day
Sleep now, little steady one, let all your worries fall
for you are held and you are safe, the dearest of them all

[Outro]
I'll leave the door half open just to hear you breathing slow
and stand a moment longer, loving you before I go
