The Wicker Chair Rocks Slow
Style: Vibraphone drift

[Verse 1]
The wicker chair rocks slow against the floor tonight
and every little creak is telling you it's alright
socks of wool go quiet where they land
the whole room dims to hold you in its light

[Chorus]
Leon, the dark is only resting now
soft as the sound the old chair makes somehow
nothing in this house will wake before you do
Leon, I promise sleep will find you now

[Verse 2]
The floorboards learned to soften just for you
polished smooth by every step that ever passed through
warmth is pooling low around your bed
and nothing here has anywhere else to be but you

[Pre-chorus]
Hear how the wicker settles into stillness like a sigh
feel how the night folds closer, keeping watch nearby
this is the hush before the dream begins to grow

[Chorus]
Leon, the dark is only resting now
soft as the sound the old chair makes somehow
nothing in this house will wake before you do
Leon, I promise sleep will find you now

[Bridge]
Every creak has turned to whisper, every board has learned to wait
closer than a heartbeat, quieter than fate
you are held here safer than the chair holds still

[Chorus]
Leon, the dark is only resting now
soft as the sound the old chair makes somehow
nothing in this house will wake before you do
Leon, I promise sleep will find you now

[Outro]
The chair has stopped its rocking, settled soft and slow
sleep now, Leon, everything you need is here to hold
