The Chair Keeps Rocking
Style: Rocking chair waltz

[Verse 1]
The cane creaks soft where the old chair bends and sways
Holding you gently through the end of these long days
Under the newspaper the woolen blanket waits so warm
Ready to wrap you safe and far from any storm

[Chorus]
Lucy, Lucy, close your eyes and drift with me
Nothing in this room but calm as calm can be
Lucy, sleep is coming soft as coming tides
The whole wide night is gentle, and love is on your side

[Verse 2]
Paper pages rustle low beneath the folded wool
Every little sound tonight is slow and calm and full
You are the reason this old chair still wants to rock
Steady as a heartbeat, steady as a clock

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the creaking slows to almost still
Nothing needs to hurry, nothing ever will
Just this warmth, this rocking, waiting for you still

[Chorus]
Lucy, Lucy, close your eyes and drift with me
Nothing in this room but calm as calm can be
Lucy, sleep is coming soft as coming tides
The whole wide night is gentle, and love is on your side

[Bridge]
Someone is here to hold what the dark cannot take
Watching over you for as long as you're awake

[Chorus]
Lucy, Lucy, close your eyes and drift with me
Nothing in this room but calm as calm can be
Lucy, sleep is coming soft as coming tides
The whole wide night is gentle, and love is on your side

[Outro]
The chair keeps rocking soft as the blanket settles round
Sleep well, Lucy, safe and warm and found
