Floorboards Humming Soft
Style: Folk cradle song

[Verse 1]
The old boards hum a tune beneath my quiet steps tonight
carrying you slowly past the shadows on the wall
I feel the house lean in and hold its breath just right
wrapping you up warm before the darkness starts to fall

[Pre-chorus]
Every creak beneath us sings a soft and steady sound
closer now to stillness as the evening settles down
and I feel your breathing slow the closer we come round

[Chorus]
Jaxon, the whole house grows quiet just for you
nothing needs to hurry now, the night has time to spare
every gentle floorboard knows the way that we walk through
and Jaxon, you are held so soft, there's nothing you should fear

[Verse 2]
The landing light goes low and gold, it flickers as we pass
your small hand curled around my own like something safe and sure
I count the steps we know so well, familiar as the grass
and every board that answers back just makes the dark feel pure

[Chorus]
Jaxon, the whole house grows quiet just for you
nothing needs to hurry now, the night has time to spare
every gentle floorboard knows the way that we walk through
and Jaxon, you are held so soft, there's nothing you should fear

[Bridge]
Sleep now, the walls are only listening, not watching
every corner of this house was built to keep you near

[Chorus]
Jaxon, the whole house grows quiet just for you
nothing needs to hurry now, the night has time to spare
every gentle floorboard knows the way that we walk through
and Jaxon, you are held so soft, there's nothing you should fear

[Outro]
The boards go quiet now beneath our final gentle steps
and I will carry you like this through every sleep that's left
