The Old Chair Rocking
Style: Rain and piano

[Verse 1]
Softly the old chair rocks you gently into the dark
Dust drifts like tiny stars above the wooden floor
Somewhere a clock breathes slow beside the door
Nothing tonight can reach you, nothing can leave a mark

[Chorus]
Lyla, the night is holding you soft and low
Down where the quiet settles, that's where you go
Rain on the window humming a gentle line
Lyla, you're safe here, you were always mine

[Verse 2]
Weave of the cane keeps time with your sleepy breath
Shadows lie down easy along the floor
Somewhere a candle dims by the wooden door
Even the dark tonight feels kind, not like a threat

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the hours are turning soft as thread
Every worry has folded and gone to bed
Lean in close now, here's where the quiet starts

[Chorus]
Lyla, the night is holding you soft and low
Down where the quiet settles, that's where you go
Rain on the window humming a gentle line
Lyla, you're safe here, you were always mine

[Bridge]
Sleep now, nothing will wake before you do
Every creak of the chair says I love you

[Chorus]
Lyla, the night is holding you soft and low
Down where the quiet settles, that's where you go
Rain on the window humming a gentle line
Lyla, you're safe here, you were always mine

[Outro]
Dust still drifts slow where the old chair stood
Sleep now, Lyla, everything is good
