The Rocker's Slow Song
Style: Accordion cradle

[Verse 1]
Somewhere a wooden runner creaks its way across the floor
carrying you softer than a wave along the shore
blue carpet holding every sleepy sound you make
and nothing in this quiet room could ever keep you awake

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the rocking take you slow
feel the warmth of where you rest and where you go
down into the dark where all the gentle dreaming grows

[Chorus]
Marvin, hush now, let the night come carving soft and low
nothing in this house was ever built to harm you, Marvin, no
you're the charming little heartbeat that this whole room's built around
safe as any garden ever growing underground

[Verse 2]
Every little creak is just the house learning how to sing
rocking back and forth on such a tender, worn old spring
you are held by hands that never once will let you fall
warm beneath the shadows climbing slowly up the wall

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the rocking take you slow
feel the warmth of where you rest and where you go
down into the dark where all the gentle dreaming grows

[Chorus]
Marvin, hush now, let the night come carving soft and low
nothing in this house was ever built to harm you, Marvin, no
you're the charming little heartbeat that this whole room's built around
safe as any garden ever growing underground

[Bridge]
Sleep will come like water finding somewhere calm to pool
rest here where the night is always gentle, always cool

[Chorus]
Marvin, hush now, let the night come carving soft and low
nothing in this house was ever built to harm you, Marvin, no
you're the charming little heartbeat that this whole room's built around
safe as any garden ever growing underground

[Outro]
Somewhere that same old runner slows to just a whisper now
resting where the blue carpet holds you soft and lets you go
