Rock You Slow
Style: Celesta and strings

[Verse 1]
Rocking chair sighs low beneath us in the corner of the room
Wooden runners whisper softly as the evening settles deep
Nothing in this house can hurt you, nothing stirs beyond the gloom
You are held here safe and steady while the whole wide world's asleep

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the quiet fold around you like a wing
Every creak beneath the floorboards hums a soft and steady spell
Drift a little further downward, toward the song I'm going to sing

[Chorus]
Michelle, my love is rocking with you slow and warm tonight
Nothing needs to hurry, nothing needs to rush or swell
Stars are keeping watch above you, holding all their light
Rest here in the hush I'm humming, hush now, my Michelle

[Verse 2]
Shadows lean in gentle corners, soft and harmless in the dark
Breathing slows to match the rhythm of the chair beneath us here
Somewhere past the window quiet, night has left its faintest mark
You are wrapped in something steady, you are wrapped in nothing to fear

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the quiet fold around you like a wing
Every creak beneath the floorboards hums a soft and steady spell
Drift a little further downward, toward the song I'm going to sing

[Chorus]
Michelle, my love is rocking with you slow and warm tonight
Nothing needs to hurry, nothing needs to rush or swell
Stars are keeping watch above you, holding all their light
Rest here in the hush I'm humming, hush now, my Michelle

[Bridge]
Long after this small room goes quiet, this feeling stays behind
Held the way the chair still rocks when everything is still

[Chorus]
Michelle, my love is rocking with you slow and warm tonight
Nothing needs to hurry, nothing needs to rush or swell
Stars are keeping watch above you, holding all their light
Rest here in the hush I'm humming, hush now, my Michelle

[Outro]
Floorboards settle into silence, rocking slower, soft and low
Sleep now, in the corner's keeping, sleep now, safe and warm and slow
