Heavy Socks in the Hallway
Style: Accordion cradle

[Verse 1]
Heavy socks on the floorboards, coming soft down the hall
Every creak is a promise that somebody's near
Close your eyes now, my darling, let the whole house grow small
Nothing waits in the shadows that you need to fear

[Pre-chorus]
The lamp is low and the blankets are deep and warm
Every sound in this house is only love passing through
So let your breathing go slow and ride out the storm

[Chorus]
Gary, Gary, the night is only for sleeping
Nothing can reach you while I am this near
Close your small hands and let go of the keeping
Gary, my love, there is nothing to fear

[Verse 2]
Somewhere a door swings gentle on its old quiet hinge
Somewhere the wind is humming low through the trees
Nothing tonight will come to your window's edge
Only the dark folding soft round your knees

[Chorus]
Gary, Gary, the night is only for sleeping
Nothing can reach you while I am this near
Close your small hands and let go of the keeping
Gary, my love, there is nothing to fear

[Bridge]
Rest now, the whole wide world can wait till morning
Rest now, there's nothing you need to hold

[Chorus]
Gary, Gary, the night is only for sleeping
Nothing can reach you while I am this near
Close your small hands and let go of the keeping
Gary, my love, there is nothing to fear

[Outro]
The floorboards go quiet now, the hallway settles to rest
You are held, little Gary, you are held and you are blessed
