The Rocking Chair Holds You
Style: Rocking chair waltz

[Verse 1]
The old chair rocks in a slow and steady turn
Wood against wool, a whisper we don't need to learn
Every creak is a promise that you are held tight
You are the reason we're rocking so soft through the night

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the shadows are only just resting
Nothing can reach you while we're here protecting
Close your eyes, let the rocking keep going

[Chorus]
Sharon, the night is a blanket we're sharing
Nothing out there in the dark should be scaring
You are the warmth that this house is wearing
Sleep now, my Sharon, we're gentle and caring

[Verse 2]
The carpet keeps time with the wood's easy sigh
Slow as your breathing, as soft as a lullaby
You curl in so small but you carry so much light
We'll rock you through shadows until they turn bright

[Bridge]
No storm ever finds you while this chair keeps turning
No cold ever touches the warmth that you're earning
Rest here where nothing but kindness is near you

[Chorus]
Sharon, the night is a blanket we're sharing
Nothing out there in the dark should be scaring
You are the warmth that this house is wearing
Sleep now, my Sharon, we're gentle and caring

[Outro]
The chair slows to still on the old woollen floor
You are loved just the same as you were the night before
