Late night your perfume on my skin
Moonlight spills where we begin
White like a promise on the windowsill
Wrap me slow baby stay still
Your heartbeat hums under a cotton sky
Fingers trace where my secrets lie
Fold me close in the hush of us two—
Everything softens when I’m with you
I’ve been wandering threadbare and worn
Till your warmth found the edges of my heart
Now I breathe in a new dawn—
You sew me back stitch by stitch from the start
You’re my cotton love —tender and true
A cloud around every scar I knew
Hold me in the hush of your arms don’t let me go
Soft as a secret only the night will know
You’re my cotton baby pure and white —
Keep me safe through the slow of the night
We walk through fields of memory and lace
Whispers of summer on your face
Threads of silver threads of gold
We weave a story that won’t grow old
Your laugh is a linen breeze on my skin
Calm like the quiet where love begins
Lay me down where the wildflowers grow—
Wrap me lover in what only we know
I was tangled lost in the pull of the past
You pulled the cotton through my fingers at last
Now every shadow turns to light—
When you breathe me in it feels so right
You’re my cotton love —tender and true
A cloud around every scar I knew
Hold me in the hush of your arms don’t let me go
Soft as a secret only the night will know
You’re my cotton baby pure and white —
Keep me safe through the slow of the night
Close your eyes feel the weave of me and you
Every thread a promise I can’t undo
Higher now —lift me where the moon can see
Turn these whispers into our melody
Mm—(oh)soft—soft—soft—
Hold me hold me hold me close…
You’re my cotton love —tender and true
A cloud around every scar I knew
Hold me in the hush of your arms don’t let me go —
Soft as a secret only the night will know
You’re my cotton baby pure and white —
Keep me safe through the slow of the night
Ooh—ah—(mmm)—my cotton my home
La—la—ooh—ooh (soft as cotton)
Mmm—stay—stay—stay…
