A challenge to write a song on gthe theme of Comfort

The safety and comfort of grandma's arms; growing older, finding bars and too much alcohol, finding comfort and safety again with a trusteed partner

Lyrics

ROCK YOU IN THE COMFORT OF MY ARMS
© Chapman Bridges

Apron 'round her once-thin waist
smudge of flour on her face
Grandma lets me lick straight from the bowl
Cinnamon smell, a rush of heat
I reach out for a tasty treat
my giggle turns into a cry of woe
There, there, she says, her smile so soft and warm
Come here, my dear - I'll rock you
in the comfort of my arms

Neon lights and noisy brawls [new text]
Stomping in the old dance halls
Another night I hope the sheets ain't cold
This style of life is much too fast
cuts my soul like broken glass
but there's a price to have someone to hold
This perfect pitch will demonstrate my charms
Come here, my dear - I'll rock you
in the comfort of my arms

Girls and boys making noise
playing too hard with grown up toys -
Running scared deep despair
A guardian angel hears my prayer

So nice to want to stay at home
to share the sunset's gentle glow
A batch of fresh-baked cookies dipped in milk
I know your hand will never hurt
thank God we've found a love that works
snuggling underneath our cozy quilt
together we're protected from all harm

Come here, my dear - I'll rock you
in the comfort of my arms
Together we're protected from all harm

REPEAT CHORUS
