The Chair Keeps Rocking Slow
Style: Flute and pad

[Verse 1]
The wicker creaks so softly under the weight of you and me
Your wool blanket is warm and heavy, tucked in close and true
Every little sound tonight is gentle as it's meant to be
There's nothing in this quiet room that means you any harm, my Tanya

[Chorus]
Tanya, close your eyes now, let the whole night hold you tight
Softly, softly rocking, nothing here will ever fray
Tanya, you are safest wrapped in this and held till light
I'll keep the chair moving gently till your dreams have come to stay

[Verse 2]
The floorboards hum a quiet tune beneath the rocking chair
Your breathing slows to match the creak, so even and so slow
Wrapped up warm in wool and dark, you haven't got a care
There's nowhere safer in the world than here, where you can go

[Pre-chorus]
Listen to the wood and wicker breathing with you now
Feel the blanket settle heavy, feel your small hand curl
There's a hush that's building softly, ready to allow

[Chorus]
Tanya, close your eyes now, let the whole night hold you tight
Softly, softly rocking, nothing here will ever fray
Tanya, you are safest wrapped in this and held till light
I'll keep the chair moving gently till your dreams have come to stay

[Bridge]
You are held by more than blankets, more than wood and woven cane
You are loved in every creaking, every hush and every sway

[Chorus]
Tanya, close your eyes now, let the whole night hold you tight
Softly, softly rocking, nothing here will ever fray
Tanya, you are safest wrapped in this and held till light
I'll keep the chair moving gently till your dreams have come to stay

[Outro]
The wicker slows its creaking as your breathing settles deep
Rest now, little Tanya, safe and warm, and drift to sleep
