Shadows on the Bark
Style: Glockenspiel

[Verse 1]
Leaves are brushing soft against the little hood you wear
streetlamps drop their shadows down on branches bare
nothing in the dark tonight will come to trouble you
I am here beside you now, the whole night through

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes, the world can wait till morning light
let the wind sing quiet songs to you tonight
hush now, feel how safe and warm you are

[Chorus]
Aisha, Aisha, sleep is calling soft and low
every shadow on the bark will gently go
you are held here closer than the night is deep
Aisha, Aisha, drift away to sleep

[Verse 2]
The lamp above the pathway hums a lullaby of gold
wrapping round you warmer than the coming cold
every leaf that stirs is whispering you're loved
watching over you like stars up high above

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes, the world can wait till morning light
let the wind sing quiet songs to you tonight
hush now, feel how safe and warm you are

[Chorus]
Aisha, Aisha, sleep is calling soft and low
every shadow on the bark will gently go
you are held here closer than the night is deep
Aisha, Aisha, drift away to sleep

[Bridge]
Nothing in the quiet dark can ever pull you far
you are safer than the softest lantern light
held so gently you could rest beneath a star
cradled in the hush of this and every night

[Chorus]
Aisha, Aisha, sleep is calling soft and low
every shadow on the bark will gently go
you are held here closer than the night is deep
Aisha, Aisha, drift away to sleep

[Outro]
Let the leaves keep brushing soft against the dark
you are dreaming safe beneath the shadowed bark
