Slow Brass, Soft Room
Style: Fingerpicked night

[Verse 1]
The brass swings slow inside its wooden case tonight
Counting the hours so soft they hardly seem to fall
You're wrapped in blankets warm beneath the fading light
Marley, my darling, safest one of all

[Pre-chorus]
Every tick is gentle, every tock is kind
Nothing rushes here, the whole room breathes in time
So let your busy little thoughts unwind

[Chorus]
Marley, the pendulum is swinging low and slow
Wherever dreams may carry you, I'll still be near
You're held by every soft thing this house can know
Marley, close your eyes now, there is nothing here to fear

[Verse 2]
The polished wood remembers every sleepy head before
Rocking gently like a boat that never learned to hurry
You're safe as candlelight behind a quiet door
Nothing in this room has ever caused you worry

[Bridge]
Rest now where the brass hangs still and slow
Let the whole wide house grow dim and low

[Chorus]
Marley, the pendulum is swinging low and slow
Wherever dreams may carry you, I'll still be near
You're held by every soft thing this house can know
Marley, close your eyes now, there is nothing here to fear

[Outro]
The brass hangs still now, the wooden case is calm
Sleep on, my Marley, safe within its quiet arm
