The Chair Knows Your Name
Style: Clarinet nightlight

[Verse 1]
Somewhere behind us the old chair rocks and sighs
Easing us gently while the lamp light softly dies
Every small creak is a hand upon your back
Nothing can reach you down this warm and quiet track

[Pre-chorus]
Your breathing slows to match the wooden floor
Sleep is a door that opens just a little more
Come closer now to where the hush is waiting

[Chorus]
Nathan, the night has room enough to hold you
Softly the dark wraps round to fold you
Rest in the sound that rocks and never leaves you
Nothing tonight has any wish to grieve you

[Verse 2]
Under your cheek the pillow keeps its gentle heat
Somewhere below us the floorboards hum a slow repeat
You are the reason this whole room stays so still
Wrapped in a calm that no small worry can spill

[Chorus]
Nathan, the night has room enough to hold you
Softly the dark wraps round to fold you
Rest in the sound that rocks and never leaves you
Nothing tonight has any wish to grieve you

[Bridge]
Hush now, the whole wide house has learned to lean your way
Even the shadows soften till the coming day

[Chorus]
Nathan, the night has room enough to hold you
Softly the dark wraps round to fold you
Rest in the sound that rocks and never leaves you
Nothing tonight has any wish to grieve you

[Outro]
Somewhere the chair keeps rocking long after you sleep
Loving you quietly is the only watch it keeps
