Rock You Slow
Style: Folk cradle song

[Verse 1]
Old cane is creaking soft beneath the wool tonight
Rocking you slower than the fading candlelight
You settle deeper with each breath you let go
Wrapped in the hush that only sleepy houses know

[Pre-chorus]
Hear how the floorboards hum a tune so worn and low
Feel how the blanket holds you close and holds you slow
Nothing tonight can touch the peace we're sinking into

[Chorus]
Caroline, rest your eyes, let the whole wide world stay still
Nobody's love for you could ever bend or spill
Sleep now the way the moon holds steady in the sky
Caroline, you are held, so soft, so safe, so nigh

[Verse 2]
Somewhere a door creaks shut and locks the cold outside
You've got the warmest corner, nothing left to hide
Little one, your breathing slows to match the chair
Every small worry melting out into the air

[Bridge]
Rock and creak, rock and creak, the same old gentle song
Nothing about this love has ever once been wrong

[Chorus]
Caroline, rest your eyes, let the whole wide world stay still
Nobody's love for you could ever bend or spill
Sleep now the way the moon holds steady in the sky
Caroline, you are held, so soft, so safe, so nigh

[Outro]
Let the old chair rock until the creaking fades to sleep
Caroline, you are loved too deep for you to keep
