Rock You Slow
Style: Rocking chair waltz

[Verse 1]
Soft creaking carries you off to somewhere calm and warm
You curl in close while the evening folds around your head
This old chair holds every worry until it's gone
And nothing waits for you now but sleep and this soft bed

[Chorus]
George, my love, let the whole day go
Rock with me while the house grows still
George, you're held here, safe and slow
Nothing tonight can touch you, and nothing will

[Verse 2]
Your blanket keeps the chill of the night outside the door
Breathing slower now, you sink into the dark
Every creak of this chair says you're loved once more
And the quiet wraps around you like a gentle spark

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let your small hands rest upon the wool
Feel how the rocking matches your heart's own gentle pace
Close your eyes, love, sleep is coming full

[Chorus]
George, my love, let the whole day go
Rock with me while the house grows still
George, you're held here, safe and slow
Nothing tonight can touch you, and nothing will

[Bridge]
Somewhere out past the window the stars are keeping watch
You don't need to know that, only that you're loved
Sleep can come as gently as this old chair's slow notch

[Chorus]
George, my love, let the whole day go
Rock with me while the house grows still
George, you're held here, safe and slow
Nothing tonight can touch you, and nothing will

[Outro]
The chair goes still, but still you're wrapped up tight and warm
Sleep well, my George, safe until the morning comes
