Rock a Little Slower
Style: Cello cradle

[Verse 1]
The wicker chair is creaking soft beneath the falling light
and every little sway of it is tucking in the night
the rug below has cradled every rock we've ever made
and you are why I'll rock till every worry starts to fade

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes and let the dark come slow and kind
feel the rhythm of the runners ease your busy mind
there's nowhere you need be but held here, safe with me

[Chorus]
Dan, the night is holding you the way I always will
every creak beneath us says be still, my love, be still
Dan, you're worth the softest hush that ever filled a room
you are worth this whole wide sky of stars and quiet moon

[Verse 2]
The runners slide so gently they could be the softest sigh
a lullaby of wood and wool to hush a lullaby
I'll keep this chair in motion till your breathing settles deep
because you are the reason I would rock through any sleep

[Bridge]
Nothing in this room can touch the warmth we're wrapped in now
no shadow dares to linger where I'm holding you somehow

[Chorus]
Dan, the night is holding you the way I always will
every creak beneath us says be still, my love, be still
Dan, you're worth the softest hush that ever filled a room
you are worth this whole wide sky of stars and quiet moon

[Outro]
The chair has stopped its creaking now, the rug has gone so still
sleep on, my Dan, I'll rock you gently whenever you need it still
