Slow the Rocking Down
Style: Vibraphone drift

[Verse 1]
Old boards under the runners hum a soft and sleepy tune
Wrapped up warm against the hush of every settling sound
Your breathing slows to match the sway beneath the rising moon
Nothing waits out there tonight that isn't safe and sound

[Pre-chorus]
Every creak below us sings a quiet lullaby
Close your eyes and let the dark feel gentle, not unkind
Sleep is only drifting now, no need to wonder why

[Chorus]
Geoffrey, hush now, let the night hold you the way I do
Nothing out there matters more than this small rocking room
Sleep will come the way it always finds its way to you
Geoffrey, close your eyes, I'll watch you drifting into dreams

[Verse 2]
Sheepskin soft beneath you keeps the midnight chill away
Somewhere past the window stars are keeping watch for you
Rocking slower now until your worries fade to grey
Held here safe and steady, there is nothing you must do

[Chorus]
Geoffrey, hush now, let the night hold you the way I do
Nothing out there matters more than this small rocking room
Sleep will come the way it always finds its way to you
Geoffrey, close your eyes, I'll watch you drifting into dreams

[Bridge]
Let the chair keep singing while your small hands finally rest
No one else could ever be so dearly, deeply loved

[Chorus]
Geoffrey, hush now, let the night hold you the way I do
Nothing out there matters more than this small rocking room
Sleep will come the way it always finds its way to you
Geoffrey, close your eyes, I'll watch you drifting into dreams

[Outro]
Somewhere the floor keeps rocking gently on without a sound
You are held here always, long after the chair goes still
