Purple Wool
Style: Cello cradle

[Verse 1]
Heavy purple wool is resting soft across my knees tonight
Warmth is climbing slow and quiet up around your little bed
Nothing in this room is asking you to open up your eyes
Only gentle breathing sounds are moving through your sleepy head

[Pre-chorus]
Something in the radiator clicks so softly, keeping time
Nothing in this house is louder than that steady, sleepy rhyme
And every click is saying hush now, drifting closer, closer to

[Chorus]
Sharon, close your eyes and let the wool keep you from harm
You are wrapped in something older than the words that I could find
Sleep is coming gentle, Sharon, nothing here will do you harm
Rest here in the warmth that's wrapping soft around you, safe and kind

[Verse 2]
Shadows on the wall are only shapes that mean you no unrest
Every little sound tonight is just the house here settling too
Curl a little deeper into all this warmth against your chest
Nothing in the dark tonight has anywhere to come for you

[Chorus]
Sharon, close your eyes and let the wool keep you from harm
You are wrapped in something older than the words that I could find
Sleep is coming gentle, Sharon, nothing here will do you harm
Rest here in the warmth that's wrapping soft around you, safe and kind

[Bridge]
Hold this quiet, let it carry you where dreaming waits so still
Nothing needs an answer now, no reaching and no climbing any hill

[Chorus]
Sharon, close your eyes and let the wool keep you from harm
You are wrapped in something older than the words that I could find
Sleep is coming gentle, Sharon, nothing here will do you harm
Rest here in the warmth that's wrapping soft around you, safe and kind

[Outro]
Purple wool is settling heavy, warm across these knees once more
Sleep now, little Sharon, you are held here, safe upon this shore
