The Copper Needles Rest
Style: Gentle acoustic

[Verse 1]
The fringe threads tangle soft across the worn old wool tonight
and the copper needles rest now, their long work laid aside
nothing here is hurried, nothing left to chase
you are wrapped in something gentle, warm and quiet and right

[Pre-chorus]
Every stitch was made so slowly, made to hold you near
and the room grows softer, sinking into calm and clear
so let your breathing follow, let it carry you down low

[Chorus]
Stacey, the night has come to keep you, soft as lacy thread
hush now, the dark is gentle, nothing waits ahead
you are held here, Stacey, safer than you know
close your eyes, let sleep come find you, warm inside your bed

[Verse 2]
The wool remembers every colour that has passed it by
and still it settles round you, keeping out the cold outside
nothing needs an answer, nothing needs a light
you can rest here fully, you don't have to try

[Pre-chorus]
Every stitch was made so slowly, made to hold you near
and the room grows softer, sinking into calm and clear
so let your breathing follow, let it carry you down low

[Chorus]
Stacey, the night has come to keep you, soft as lacy thread
hush now, the dark is gentle, nothing waits ahead
you are held here, Stacey, safer than you know
close your eyes, let sleep come find you, warm inside your bed

[Bridge]
No hurry in this room, no clock to mind
only quiet breathing, only you and time

[Chorus]
Stacey, the night has come to keep you, soft as lacy thread
hush now, the dark is gentle, nothing waits ahead
you are held here, Stacey, safer than you know
close your eyes, let sleep come find you, warm inside your bed

[Outro]
The needles rest, the wool lies still, the fringe has stopped its sway
you are held so gently now, and morning's far away
