  Verse 1

  A little light hangs soft above the warmth of the wall its frayed old cord swaying so quiet and small and here in this glow where the shadows turn kind I keep you close while the whole world winds down behind

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, the room has grown heavy and slow everything gentle, however you go and sleep is a tide that is starting to rise

  Chorus

  Gladys, the night is a blanket pulled tight holding you soft in the warm lamplit light nothing can touch you, no need to be sad Gladys, you're loved more than words that we've had

  Verse 2

  Somewhere the radiator ticks low like a hum steady and warm as a heartbeat becomes and you, wrapped in quiet, are drifting so deep carried by nothing but breathing and sleep

  Bridge

  Every small sound in this room says you're safe every soft shadow has found its own place

  Chorus

  Gladys, the night is a blanket pulled tight holding you soft in the warm lamplit light nothing can touch you, no need to be sad Gladys, you're loved more than words that we've had

  Outro

  That small frayed cord will still sway when you're grown but tonight you are held, and you never sleep alone

• Slow Wool, Soft Night

  Ambient wash · Ambient · Pads · Breathy

  A slow, ambient lullaby for settling a baby or young child to sleep, built around the quiet click of needles and the weight of a warm coat, holding Gladys safe until morning.

  Verse 1

  Needles slide so softly through the wool upon my knee a heavy grey coat waiting for the cold it will not see you are warmer than any thread that I could ever spin and that warmth is a gift I give so gladly

  Chorus

  Gladys, close your eyes now, let the evening take its time nothing you must carry, nothing you must climb you are held here safely, wrapped in something kind Gladys, you're the softest thing that's mine

  Verse 2

  Somewhere a coat is folded up and waiting for the morning stitches holding steady through the hours without warning you don't need to hold on tight, there's nothing you should mind sleep can be as gentle as the wool that I am winding

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, let the needles rest, the wool has had its turn quiet is the only thing this room has left to learn and you are safe inside it, waiting for the dark to turn

  Chorus

  Gladys, close your eyes now, let the evening take its time nothing you must carry, nothing you must climb you are held here safely, wrapped in something kind Gladys, you're the softest thing that's mine

  Bridge

  Row by row the night gets softer, stitch by stitch it grows around you like a coat that only kindness sews

  Chorus

  Gladys, close your eyes now, let the evening take its time nothing you must carry, nothing you must climb you are held here safely, wrapped in something kind Gladys, you're the softest thing that's mine

  Outro

  Somewhere still the needles rest, the wool has gone quite still and you are wrapped in all of it, sleeping when you will

  Verse 1

  A quiet board sighs beneath these slow and woollen steps careful not to wake the hush that's settled on this room I would cross a hundred floors just to reach your side every soft creak only says how gently you are loved

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing in this house would dare to break so calm a spell even shadows learn to move as slow as breathing does hold that stillness now, love, while I come to say your name

  Chorus

  Gladys, the whole house leans in close to keep you warm nothing out there in the dark can find you here at all Gladys, you're the reason every sound turns soft tonight even old wood learns to hush before it lets you fall

  Verse 2

  Somewhere a sock slides quiet over floorboards worn and kind and every little sound tonight is only meant to soothe you don't need to know the way the whole house holds its breath just know that it is holding it entirely for you

  Chorus

  Gladys, the whole house leans in close to keep you warm nothing out there in the dark can find you here at all Gladys, you're the reason every sound turns soft tonight even old wood learns to hush before it lets you fall

  Bridge

  Rest your small weight into mine and let the night grow still you are held by more than arms, you're held by everything

  Chorus

  Gladys, the whole house leans in close to keep you warm nothing out there in the dark can find you here at all Gladys, you're the reason every sound turns soft tonight even old wood learns to hush before it lets you fall

  Outro

  The floor has gone quiet now, its work already done sleep now, love, the whole house is only guarding you
