Shadow Branches
Style: Rocking chair waltz

[Verse 1]
Watch how the branches sway slow on the ceiling above you
Soft as a hand that keeps smoothing the quiet to soothe you
Nothing tonight means you ever need worry or hide
Sleep is a boat and I'm rowing you gently inside

[Pre-chorus]
Close now the day and let go of its noise and its weather
Nothing can find you while we are here holding together
Rest now, my love, while the dark turns as soft as a

[Chorus]
Amaya, the night has gone gentle for you
There's nowhere as safe as this warm room for two
Sleep, Amaya, and let the hours run slower
Long as you're here, the whole world can hold over

[Verse 2]
Shadows are only the branches at play on the plaster
Nothing that moves in this house could ever come faster
Than the love that sits here while your breathing goes deep
Steady and sure as a tide pulling you down to sleep

[Pre-chorus]
Close now the day and let go of its noise and its weather
Nothing can find you while we are here holding together
Rest now, my love, while the dark turns as soft as a

[Chorus]
Amaya, the night has gone gentle for you
There's nowhere as safe as this warm room for two
Sleep, Amaya, and let the hours run slower
Long as you're here, the whole world can hold over

[Bridge]
However far you drift, I will stay to keep watch
However dark it gets, this love won't run out or stop

[Chorus]
Amaya, the night has gone gentle for you
There's nowhere as safe as this warm room for two
Sleep, Amaya, and let the hours run slower
Long as you're here, the whole world can hold over

[Outro]
The branches keep swaying so soft on the ceiling
Sleep now, my love, held close in that feeling
