Wicker and Wool
Style: Cello cradle

[Verse 1]
Somewhere a wicker chair leans and sighs beneath the quiet
the floorboards holding on to every sound you make
wool blankets sliding slow like they too are tired
and you are held so gently nothing here could break

[Chorus]
Wesley, close your eyes now, let the whole house rest
nobody sleeping near you loves you less than best
Wesley, you're the calm this creaking room has blessed
nothing tonight will touch you, nothing but your rest

[Verse 2]
Somewhere a lamp burns low and paints the wall in amber
shadows folding softly where the corners meet
you curl up smaller than the whole wide room around you
safe as anything can be beneath these sheets

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the creaking slows, the wool has settled
the night pulls in around you like a tide
and still you're wanted here more than you'll ever know it

[Chorus]
Wesley, close your eyes now, let the whole house rest
nobody sleeping near you loves you less than best
Wesley, you're the calm this creaking room has blessed
nothing tonight will touch you, nothing but your rest

[Bridge]
Let the chair keep talking softly to the floor
you don't have to answer, you don't have to hold on
sleep can carry all the things you're not ready for
and love will still be waiting when the dark is gone

[Chorus]
Wesley, close your eyes now, let the whole house rest
nobody sleeping near you loves you less than best
Wesley, you're the calm this creaking room has blessed
nothing tonight will touch you, nothing but your rest

[Outro]
Somewhere that same old wicker settles into silence
and you sleep on, held safe, no matter how it creaks
