The Wicker Hums
Style: Fingerpicked night

[Verse 1]
Somewhere below a chair is creaking soft and low
Rocking out a rhythm only quiet hearts can know
Under the boards the old house breathes so slow
Albert, that sound is just for you, so let it go

[Pre-chorus]
Every creak below is saying you are held
Nothing in this house has ever felt so well kept
Close your eyes now, let the whole night melt

[Chorus]
Albert, Albert, sleep is calling soft and near
Nothing in the dark tonight will ever bring you fear
You are wrapped in every warm and gentle year
Rest now Albert, there is nothing you should fear

[Verse 2]
Wicker bends the way a hand bends round a small held thing
Careful, patient, holding you through every wandering
You are the reason this old floor still likes to sing
Albert, you're the softest kind of everything

[Chorus]
Albert, Albert, sleep is calling soft and near
Nothing in the dark tonight will ever bring you fear
You are wrapped in every warm and gentle year
Rest now Albert, there is nothing you should fear

[Bridge]
Even when the house goes still and no one makes a sound
Love keeps rocking gently, quiet, safe and round
You will always be the softest thing that's found

[Chorus]
Albert, Albert, sleep is calling soft and near
Nothing in the dark tonight will ever bring you fear
You are wrapped in every warm and gentle year
Rest now Albert, there is nothing you should fear

[Outro]
Somewhere below, the wicker settles into rest
Sleep now, Albert, you were always, always blessed
