The Rocking Chair Song
Style: Ambient wash

[Verse 1]
Somewhere a chair is rocking slow against the old wood floor
and every gentle creak is saying rest now, rest a little more
your breathing slows to match it, soft and even at the door
you're held by something steady that has held so many before

[Pre-chorus]
Every creak of the runners is a small and steady song
it says you are the reason this old chair has rocked so long
and it will keep on rocking till you drift to where you belong

[Chorus]
Sarah, close your eyes now, let the rocking carry you
nobody could love you gentler, nobody could love you truer
you are the quiet centre of this whole night through and through
the dark is only softness and you're safer, you are safer

[Verse 2]
The floorboards learned your weight the way they learn a well loved tune
they hum beneath the rocking like the tide beneath the moon
nothing in this house is louder than the hush that wraps the room
and nothing in this whole wide world was ever loved so soon

[Bridge]
Rock a little longer, there's no need to rush the dark
hold on to this stillness like a small and steady spark

[Chorus]
Sarah, close your eyes now, let the rocking carry you
nobody could love you gentler, nobody could love you truer
you are the quiet centre of this whole night through and through
the dark is only softness and you're safer, you are safer

[Outro]
The chair will keep on rocking long after you're asleep
so rest now in the creaking, it's a promise you can keep
