Read the lyricsHide the lyrics
Verse 1
A little woollen sock hangs warm beside the door holding all the heat that this quiet room can hold Somewhere down the hall the house is breathing slow and you are why I keep this small light burning for
Pre-chorus
The night pulls its blanket soft across the sill every worry of the day is folding still so close your eyes now, let your breathing find the tune
Chorus
Iris, the whole dark house is gentle around you nothing tonight will come to trouble or hound you Sleep is a river and you're the calm it found rest easy, Iris, till the morning comes to crown you
Verse 2
Somebody left that sock to dry beside the door thinking of cold feet before the day was through Just like that sock was kept for when you'd need it this whole house waits tonight simply for you
Bridge
Let every small and worn out thing find its rest you are the warmest thing this house has ever pressed close
Chorus
Iris, the whole dark house is gentle around you nothing tonight will come to trouble or hound you Sleep is a river and you're the calm it found rest easy, Iris, till the morning comes to crown you
Outro
The sock still hangs there warm beside the open door and you sleep on, held safe, needing nothing more
Wool and Quiet
Ambient wash · Ambient · Pads · BreathyA gentle bedtime lullaby that follows a trailing wool fringe across the floor to a sleeping cat, and settles that same hush over the child, Iris, being tucked in for the night.

Verse 1
The wool fringe drifts across the floor where the old cat lies curled and everything has gone as still as the quietest hour in the world I watch the last thread settle soft, no reason left to roam and I think of you asleep, the warmest thing in this whole home
Pre-chorus
The house breathes slow, the lamp burns low, the night has grown so kind every corner of this room has settled into you and me so close your eyes, my dear one, and leave the waking day behind
Chorus
Iris, the dark is only softness gathered near nothing tonight will ask you to be anything but here Sleep on, Iris, wrapped in all this quiet holds you are the warmest story that this house has ever told
Verse 2
A cat can sleep for hours in a stripe of fading light never once afraid the morning won't arrive on time and you can rest the same way, loosened from the tight held here safe and certain as the oldest lullaby's rhyme
Chorus
Iris, the dark is only softness gathered near nothing tonight will ask you to be anything but here Sleep on, Iris, wrapped in all this quiet holds you are the warmest story that this house has ever told
Bridge
Let your small hands loosen, let your breathing find its place there is nowhere else you're needed but this soft and sleepy space
Chorus
Iris, the dark is only softness gathered near nothing tonight will ask you to be anything but here Sleep on, Iris, wrapped in all this quiet holds you are the warmest story that this house has ever told
Outro
The fringe lies still, the cat sleeps on, the floor holds all its heat and you are held the same way now, so drift, and rest, and sleep

Verse 1
The lamp outside is painting gold across your patterned rug and you are warm beneath the blankets, held and safe and snug the curtains made of wool are hanging still without a sound this whole small room is quiet now, and you are safely found
Pre-chorus
Close your eyes, the day is folding softly out of sight nothing here can reach you now, you're wrapped in gentle light let the hush come nearer, let it carry you tonight
Chorus
Sleep now, Iris, let the quiet hold you like a friend you are loved beyond the counting, loved without an end rest here, Iris, in the gold that falls across the floor you are safe as you have ever been, and safe forevermore
Verse 2
Somewhere past the window, all the busy world runs on but here the light stays gentle till the darkness comes and goes you don't need to know the hour or the reason why it's late just let the warm glow keep you while the whole night learns to wait
Bridge
However far you travel when the morning comes to call this room will keep its glow for you, small and warm and true nothing in the dark tonight can touch you here at all
Chorus
Sleep now, Iris, let the quiet hold you like a friend you are loved beyond the counting, loved without an end rest here, Iris, in the gold that falls across the floor you are safe as you have ever been, and safe forevermore
Outro
The lamp will keep its watch till morning finds the patterned rug sleep on now, you are held, you are wanted, you are loved
