Parker, Close Your Eyes
Style: Accordion cradle

[Verse 1]
The wicker creaks so softly in the corner of the room
and the heavy wool is waiting to be tucked beneath your chin
the night has drawn its curtain and it's asking nothing more
just for you to rest your head the way you have before

[Pre-chorus]
Somewhere past the window all the noisy hours have gone
and the dark is only quiet wrapping softly round the walls
so let your breathing slow now while I stay here till the dawn

[Chorus]
Parker, Parker, let the light grow darker
hush now in my arms you're safer than a locked and bolted marker
every little worry, let it drift and let it fall
Parker, you are loved by every corner of this small

[Verse 2]
The chair against the corner rocks a rhythm soft and slow
like a heartbeat that has always known the way that you should go
and the blanket holds the warmth in like a promise kept all night
you can let the whole world dim now, you don't need the light

[Chorus]
Parker, Parker, let the light grow darker
hush now in my arms you're safer than a locked and bolted marker
every little worry, let it drift and let it fall
Parker, you are loved by every corner of this small

[Bridge]
Sleep is just a boat that carries you where dreams are kind
leave the day behind you, there is nothing left to find

[Chorus]
Parker, Parker, let the light grow darker
hush now in my arms you're safer than a locked and bolted marker
every little worry, let it drift and let it fall
Parker, you are loved by every corner of this small

[Outro]
The wicker settles quiet now, its creaking soft and slow
sleep well, my Parker, you are held wherever you may go
