The Creak of the Chair
Style: Soft piano

[Verse 1]
Wrapped up warm against this old wool sweater
rocking slow while the wicker hums its tune
holding you closer as the house goes quiet
nothing tonight could ever hold you better

[Pre-chorus]
Every creak is a small and steady promise
soft as breathing, low as candlelight
and it's carrying you toward sleep tonight

[Chorus]
Luca, the dark is only resting
nothing out there can reach where you lie
you are held here, safe past all questing
Luca, hush now, close your eyes

[Verse 2]
Somewhere a clock keeps time with the rocking
but all that matters is this gentle sway
you curl in closer, warm against the stitching
and the whole wide night just fades away

[Bridge]
Rest your small hand where the wool is softest
let the chair sing you the last mile home

[Chorus]
Luca, the dark is only resting
nothing out there can reach where you lie
you are held here, safe past all questing
Luca, hush now, close your eyes

[Outro]
The chair goes still, the wool grows heavy and warm
sleep now, little one, held safe till morn
