Soft as the Chair Rocks
Style: Harp lullaby

[Verse 1]
Somewhere a wicker arm leans against the darkened wall
and creaks so softly that it barely sounds at all
this old chair has held so many drowsy heads before
but none it loved as much as you, who I adore

[Chorus]
Reagan, hush now, let the evening hold you tight
nothing but calm is coming for you through the night
close your eyes, Reagan, drift where dreams are always kind
sleep is just a gentle river, let it pull your mind

[Verse 2]
Somewhere a lamp is burning low behind the door
and shadows learn to dance across the wooden floor
you are the reason this whole house breathes soft and slow
you are the warmth that makes the cold outside just go

[Pre-chorus]
Listen to the quiet counting down the hours
feel how sleep arrives on its own gentle powers
and know that you are loved before the morning flowers

[Chorus]
Reagan, hush now, let the evening hold you tight
nothing but calm is coming for you through the night
close your eyes, Reagan, drift where dreams are always kind
sleep is just a gentle river, let it pull your mind

[Bridge]
Every creak the old chair makes is saying stay
saying rest a while, the world can wait till day
you are held, you are wanted, you are safe right here

[Chorus]
Reagan, hush now, let the evening hold you tight
nothing but calm is coming for you through the night
close your eyes, Reagan, drift where dreams are always kind
sleep is just a gentle river, let it pull your mind

[Outro]
Somewhere that wicker arm has settled, still and slow
and you, my dear, are sleeping now, so let it go
