Silver Spokes
Style: Rocking chair waltz

[Verse 1]
Wheels have stopped turning and the yard has gone quiet and still
Dark leaves are brushing soft against the fading evening chill
Somewhere a breeze moves gentle through the old canvas shade
You are the reason this whole tired day was made

[Chorus]
Frank, my love, the night is soft and low
Close your eyes now, let the spinning slow
Frank, there's nothing here that you should fear
Every shadow's kind because you're here

[Verse 2]
Somewhere a spoke still glimmers silver in the dying light
Holding still the hush that settles gently into night
You curl up warm beneath the blankets, safe and small
I will keep you closer than the dark to it all

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let your breathing find its slow and steady time
Let the grey above you turn to velvet as you climb
Somewhere between the leaves and sleep, I'm holding you

[Chorus]
Frank, my love, the night is soft and low
Close your eyes now, let the spinning slow
Frank, there's nothing here that you should fear
Every shadow's kind because you're here

[Bridge]
Let the wheel outside stop spinning, let the branches rest their arms
Nothing in this quiet dark can ever bring you harm

[Chorus]
Frank, my love, the night is soft and low
Close your eyes now, let the spinning slow
Frank, there's nothing here that you should fear
Every shadow's kind because you're here

[Outro]
The leaves have stilled their whisper, and the spokes have gone to rest
Sleep now, little one, you're held, you're loved, you're blessed
