Grey Wool, Warm Knees
Style: Flute and pad

[Verse 1]
The grey wool stretches soft and tight across my knees tonight
Under cotton denim worn so gentle, worn so kind
And you are curled here where the lamplight settles low and right
Nothing in this whole wide room but you upon my mind

[Chorus]
Nathaniel, the night is holding still for you
Sleep is drifting soft as any cloud can be
Close your eyes, Nathaniel, let the dark be kind and true
There is nowhere you are safer than with me

[Verse 2]
Your breathing slows to match the quiet turning of the clock
Every worry of the day has folded down to rest
I will keep this warm and steady, I will never stop
Holding you the way that matters, holding you the best

[Pre-chorus]
The wool is warm, your small hand curls against the weave
Hush now, let the evening carry you away
Close your eyes and let this moment gently start to leave

[Chorus]
Nathaniel, the night is holding still for you
Sleep is drifting soft as any cloud can be
Close your eyes, Nathaniel, let the dark be kind and true
There is nowhere you are safer than with me

[Bridge]
Long as stars keep watch above this quiet little room
You are wrapped in something softer than the dark

[Chorus]
Nathaniel, the night is holding still for you
Sleep is drifting soft as any cloud can be
Close your eyes, Nathaniel, let the dark be kind and true
There is nowhere you are safer than with me

[Outro]
The grey wool settles quiet now across these tired knees
Sleep well, Nathaniel, held in warmth and gentle ease
