The Rocking Chair Song
Style: Clarinet nightlight

[Verse 1]
The wooden runners creak so slowly on the bare old floor
a small and steady sound that says you're safe forevermore
the dark is soft tonight, it isn't dark to be afraid
it's just the quiet room where all your little dreams are made

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let your breathing slow down with the creaking chair
feel how the whole wide night has gathered you in loving care
closer now to sleep, closer to the hush of everywhere

[Chorus]
Darcie, Darcie, close your eyes and let the rocking start
you are held so gently here, right at the warmest part
the world can wait outside the window, calm and dim and still
Darcie, you are loved enough to fill up every hill

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past the window, every little star has settled too
they are only waiting there to watch the night look after you
nothing needs to hurry now, no reason left to keep awake
just the gentle rock and creak of every breath you softly take

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let your breathing slow down with the creaking chair
feel how the whole wide night has gathered you in loving care
closer now to sleep, closer to the hush of everywhere

[Chorus]
Darcie, Darcie, close your eyes and let the rocking start
you are held so gently here, right at the warmest part
the world can wait outside the window, calm and dim and still
Darcie, you are loved enough to fill up every hill

[Bridge]
Every creak upon the floor is just a heartbeat, slow and low
saying you are cherished more than you will ever fully know

[Chorus]
Darcie, Darcie, close your eyes and let the rocking start
you are held so gently here, right at the warmest part
the world can wait outside the window, calm and dim and still
Darcie, you are loved enough to fill up every hill

[Outro]
The runners slow, the room grows still, the creaking fades to rest
and you are safe inside the quiet, gathered, loved and blessed
