Rock Slow, Dahlia
Style: Fingerpicked night

[Verse 1]
Wicker sighs beneath us as we settle into stillness
Wood remembers every gentle motion that we give it
Nothing here will hurry you or ask you to be quicker
You are held so softly nothing here could ever chill us

[Pre-chorus]
Floorboards hum a answer to the rocking overhead
Every creak is saying all is well and go to bed
Close your eyes now, let the quiet carry what I said

[Chorus]
Sleep is calling gently now, Dahlia, hear it humming
Rest is coming closer like a warm and welcome coming
Nothing in this house tonight will ever cause you sorrow
Dahlia, my Dahlia, safe until tomorrow

[Verse 2]
Painted boards below us hold the weight of this small motion
Nothing needs an answer, there is no grand plan or notion
You can let the day go, drifting out like tide from shore
Rest is just a rhythm that was always yours before

[Bridge]
Creak and pause and creak again, a heartbeat made of wood
Everything is quiet now, and everything is good

[Chorus]
Sleep is calling gently now, Dahlia, hear it humming
Rest is coming closer like a warm and welcome coming
Nothing in this house tonight will ever cause you sorrow
Dahlia, my Dahlia, safe until tomorrow

[Outro]
Wicker settles slower now, the rocking nearly done
Sleep has found you gently, little one
