The Fringe Falls Soft
Style: Clarinet nightlight

[Verse 1]
The heavy fringe hangs down so soft above your wool socks tonight
Resting easy on the footstool, waiting for you to close your eyes
Every thread was made to keep you gentle, keep you warm and light
You are held here safer than a berry tucked beneath the skies

[Chorus]
Sherry, Sherry, drift away now, let the quiet carry you
Nothing in this whole wide night could ever touch what's warm and true
Sherry, close your eyes so gently, dreams are waiting soft for you
Sleep is just a ferry rocking, taking you where hearts stay true

[Verse 2]
The wooden stool stands still and steady, holding all your tiny weight
Nothing here will ever hurry, nothing here will make you wait
You are wrapped in something gentle, woven slow and woven late
Sleep will come the way the evening always comes to close the gate

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the wool grow heavy, let your breathing slow and fall
Every little sound is fading soft into the quiet hall
Close your eyes, my dear, and listen, sleep is waiting just for all

[Chorus]
Sherry, Sherry, drift away now, let the quiet carry you
Nothing in this whole wide night could ever touch what's warm and true
Sherry, close your eyes so gently, dreams are waiting soft for you
Sleep is just a ferry rocking, taking you where hearts stay true

[Bridge]
No need to be wary, love is folded all around
You are never far from safety, never far from steady ground

[Chorus]
Sherry, Sherry, drift away now, let the quiet carry you
Nothing in this whole wide night could ever touch what's warm and true
Sherry, close your eyes so gently, dreams are waiting soft for you
Sleep is just a ferry rocking, taking you where hearts stay true

[Outro]
The fringe still falls so soft above the socks upon the floor
Sleep well, my Sherry, you are loved as much as ever, always more
