The Chair Keeps Time
Style: Rocking chair waltz

[Verse 1]
Rest your head down soft and let the evening hold you near
Cane creaks slow beneath us like a tune we know by heart
Folded clothes are waiting in their quiet, steady stack
Nothing in this room tonight will ever pull apart

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, every worry has been tucked away for good
Breathe in slow and let the hours grow softer than before
Sleep is coming closer, calm and warm and sure

[Chorus]
Troy, the night is gentle and it's holding you so near
Every creak and murmur says there's nothing here to fear
Close your eyes, my Troy, and let the dark be kind
Rocking slow beside you, we will leave no one behind

[Verse 2]
Moonlight finds the corner where the folded blankets lean
Steady as a heartbeat, the old chair rocks in place
You are safe inside this small and quiet scene
Nothing but the calm light falling soft across your face

[Bridge]
Let the creaking carry you where dreams are always mild
Sleep is just the night's way of holding on to you

[Chorus]
Troy, the night is gentle and it's holding you so near
Every creak and murmur says there's nothing here to fear
Close your eyes, my Troy, and let the dark be kind
Rocking slow beside you, we will leave no one behind

[Outro]
Sleep now, the chair still rocking soft beside the folded stack
Rest easy, love is near and it is never going back
