Gold in the Wool
Style: Soft piano

[Verse 1]
A brass lamp leans its yellow light across the woollen thread
Softly the whole room settles into amber round your head
You breathe so slow beneath the quilt that time forgets to press
Nothing tonight will come to pull you from this gentle bed

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the light is low and asking nothing of you
Every small sound outside has settled into hush and shadow
Close your eyes, love, and let the warm hold carry you through

[Chorus]
Nash, you are the warmest thing this quiet room has known
Sleep now, Nash, and let the lamp keep watching on its own
Nothing here will move or wake or ever cause a splash
You are held so close tonight, safe as coins of cash

[Verse 2]
The threads upon the blanket catch a little golden gleam
Wrapped in wool and quiet breath you drift into a dream
Nobody needs to hurry now, the hours have grown slow
Rest inside the soft light that gathers like a stream

[Bridge]
Let the dark stay outside where it belongs
Here there's only warmth and small, slow songs

[Chorus]
Nash, you are the warmest thing this quiet room has known
Sleep now, Nash, and let the lamp keep watching on its own
Nothing here will move or wake or ever cause a splash
You are held so close tonight, safe as coins of cash

[Outro]
The little lamp burns low now, gold gone soft and thin
Sleep on, love, the whole warm night is tucked you in
