Under the Low Branches
Style: Glockenspiel

[Verse 1]
Somewhere the wheels have gone quiet on the damp mulch tonight
Tucked where the low branches lean down soft and slow
Everything outside has settled into shadow and low light
And you are the warmest thing that I know

[Chorus]
Adrian, Adrian, close your eyes now
The dark is only a blanket pulled thin
Nothing tonight can touch you, I won't allow
Adrian, you are safe, you are held, you are kin

[Verse 2]
The branches keep their small quiet watch above the ground
Holding the night the way I'm holding you
Not one leaf stirs, not one small worried sound
Only the hush that carries the whole night through

[Pre-chorus]
Rest your small head, let the evening grow still
Let the wheels stay parked and the garden stay dim
There's nothing to chase and nowhere you need to be until

[Chorus]
Adrian, Adrian, close your eyes now
The dark is only a blanket pulled thin
Nothing tonight can touch you, I won't allow
Adrian, you are safe, you are held, you are kin

[Bridge]
Sleep is a soft road with no end in sight
I will be here when the morning begins

[Chorus]
Adrian, Adrian, close your eyes now
The dark is only a blanket pulled thin
Nothing tonight can touch you, I won't allow
Adrian, you are safe, you are held, you are kin

[Outro]
The wheels will still be waiting under the low, damp trees
Sleep now, you are loved beyond any of these
