Green Leaves Over Annabelle
Style: Humming choir

[Verse 1]
Heavy green leaves are brushing soft against your little bed
Nodding down slow to watch you while the whole wide sky turns red
Nothing will come to trouble you tonight
I keep the watch so you can rest your head

[Chorus]
Sleep now, sleep now, my own Annabelle
Every leaf outside is guarding you so well
Hush now, the dark is only resting too
Annabelle, there's nowhere safer you could dwell

[Verse 2]
The wind goes gentle when it finds you lying there so still
Carrying no chill that could ever climb up over that green sill
You are held closer than you'll ever know
Wrapped in more love than any hand could tell

[Pre-chorus]
Somewhere a bird has folded up its wings for the night
Somewhere the moon is turning on its low and honest light
And here you're closer to it than you know

[Chorus]
Sleep now, sleep now, my own Annabelle
Every leaf outside is guarding you so well
Hush now, the dark is only resting too
Annabelle, there's nowhere safer you could dwell

[Bridge]
Whatever the day asked of you, it can wait until it's light
You don't have to hold a single worry through the night

[Chorus]
Sleep now, sleep now, my own Annabelle
Every leaf outside is guarding you so well
Hush now, the dark is only resting too
Annabelle, there's nowhere safer you could dwell

[Outro]
The leaves will still be there to greet you when the morning comes
Softly as they touched you now, so soft this whole night runs
