Wool and Rain
Style: Clarinet nightlight

[Verse 1]
The wool slides soft across the denim on my knee
Rain taps the window like it's humming just for you
Nothing out there can reach this quiet little room
There's no place safer in the world than here with me, Ophelia

[Pre-chorus]
Your breathing slows to match the rain against the glass
Your small hand curls around a thread of grey and blue
Hold on to nothing, let the whole wide night pass through

[Chorus]
Ophelia, the dark is only resting, not unkind
Every raindrop falls to say that you are seen
Somewhere warm is where you'll always be, Ophelia
Sleep now, you're the softest thing this house has ever known

[Verse 2]
The lamp is low and everything it touches turns to gold
Denim holds the warmth of hands that won't let go
Listen how the rain forgets to ever knock too loud
It only wants to keep you company till you're gone under, Ophelia

[Bridge]
Wherever this rain has been, it came here to find you
Every thread I've pulled tonight was pulled to keep you warm

[Chorus]
Ophelia, the dark is only resting, not unkind
Every raindrop falls to say that you are seen
Somewhere warm is where you'll always be, Ophelia
Sleep now, you're the softest thing this house has ever known

[Outro]
The wool has stilled, the rain has softened to a hush
Sleep now, Ophelia, you were loved before the dark began
