Static and Slow Waltzing
Style: Rocking chair waltz

[Verse 1]
Somewhere a radio hums low between the songs
Static breathing soft while the house lets go its light
Floorboards settle down, forgetting all their wrongs
You are curled up warm and sinking into night

[Pre-chorus]
Every hiss and hush is rocking you to sleep
Nothing in this room will ever let you fall
Close your eyes now, love, and let the quiet keep

[Chorus]
Linda, the whole dark room is holding you tonight
Hush now, Belinda, nothing here will do you harm
Sleep finds you gentle in the fading amber light
Linda, you are folded soft in someone's arm

[Verse 2]
Jazz notes drift like smoke through the cooling air
Slipping past the static, slow and warm and low
You breathe in time with songs you cannot hear
Rocking chair keeps turning where the lamplight glows

[Chorus]
Linda, the whole dark room is holding you tonight
Hush now, Belinda, nothing here will do you harm
Sleep finds you gentle in the fading amber light
Linda, you are folded soft in someone's arm

[Bridge]
Rest now, let the static hold its quiet hymn
Nothing needs to hurry, nothing needs to end
You are safe inside this small and gentle dim

[Chorus]
Linda, the whole dark room is holding you tonight
Hush now, Belinda, nothing here will do you harm
Sleep finds you gentle in the fading amber light
Linda, you are folded soft in someone's arm

[Outro]
The radio hums itself to nothing, soft and slow
You are already dreaming where the warm light used to glow
