Porch Swing Lullaby

Verse

Sun sets slow across the field

Dust devils twirl their evening yield

Porch swing creaks as I lean back

Watching daylight burn its final track

Grandma's old rocking chair is worn

Every summer someone leaves before dawn

I'll sit here till the stars come up

Listening to this neighborhood hum

Pre-Chorus

Is it time to let it go?

Or keep the swing warm like a ghost in tow?

Can't tell yet if I stay or roam

But for now, I'm safe right here at home

Chorus

Stay on the porch swing tonight

Watch the world spin into blue and white

No clock ticking, just crickets' song

Stay on the porch swing till morning comes along

Every porch light in this whole street's gold

Let it shine and watch our dreams unfold

Verse 2

Neighborhood kids chase fireflies

Laughing till their shadows stretch out wide

I remember every single time

But tonight I'll just sit here, re-live the prime

Sister's rocking chair next to mine

Dad still polishes his old wooden sign

Porch swing creaks beneath my weight

Every summer night feels like it waits

Pre-Chorus

Is it time to let it go?

Or keep the swing warm like a ghost in tow?

Can't tell yet if I stay or roam

But for now, I'm safe right here at home

Chorus

Stay on the porch swing tonight

Watch the world spin into blue and white

No clock ticking, just crickets' song

Stay on the porch swing till morning comes along

Every porch light in this whole street's gold

Let it shine and watch our dreams unfold

Bridge

Bare feet tapping out a beat on the rail

Copper light across my upturned face

Nothing to do but let go of time

Sit here, watch life, wait for what's divine

Chorus

Stay on the porch swing tonight

Watch the world spin into blue and white

No clock ticking, just crickets' song

Stay on the porch swing till morning comes along

Every porch light in this whole street's gold

Let it shine and watch our dreams unfold
