Crooked on the Hook
Style: Cello cradle

[Verse 1]
Coats hang crooked where the lime wall meets the floor
Tired from the cold they won't be needing any more
Brass hooks holding all the day has asked of them
Now it's you I'm holding, easing into rest again

[Chorus]
Savannah, close your eyes, the dark is soft and kind
Nothing in this room will trouble your small mind
Savannah, let the whole wide world go still
I'll keep the warmth around you until you've had your fill

[Verse 2]
Sleeves still hold the shape of arms that carried you today
Wrapped you up and kept the wind and worry both away
Every thread of it was doing what it's for
Loving you the way I always have and always will, and more

[Pre-chorus]
Hear how quiet settles soft along the wall
Feel the house breathe slow around us, gentle, small
Nothing needs to hurry now, no reason left to call

[Chorus]
Savannah, close your eyes, the dark is soft and kind
Nothing in this room will trouble your small mind
Savannah, let the whole wide world go still
I'll keep the warmth around you until you've had your fill

[Bridge]
Wrapped so deep in blankets thick as coats upon the wall
You are held the way that nothing's ever going to fall
Rest here, little heart of mine, the night is wide and slow

[Chorus]
Savannah, close your eyes, the dark is soft and kind
Nothing in this room will trouble your small mind
Savannah, let the whole wide world go still
I'll keep the warmth around you until you've had your fill

[Outro]
Hang your worries crooked on the hook beside the door
Sleep now, you are loved here more than words can ever score
