Leaf Shadows
Style: Humming choir

[Verse 1]
Leaf shadows move so slowly across the tight canvas above you
the wheels below roll softer than any word I could say
this whole wide world has quieted down just to hold you
and everything good in it circles back to you again

[Pre-chorus]
Somewhere a wind is settling low behind the trees
your breathing has slowed to match the turning leaves
and sleep is coming closer now, so gentle and so near

[Chorus]
Anwen, the dark is only softness falling over you
there's nowhere in this night that isn't kind to you
rest now, let the hours go quiet in the glen
you are the calmest thing I've ever known, Anwen

[Verse 2]
Every shadow that moves tonight is only passing gently
it touches you so lightly, like a hand upon your head
the wheels still turn beneath you, slow and steady
and I am watching over every breath you take in bed

[Bridge]
Nothing in this house tonight will ever let you down
no sound will come to trouble you, no light will be too loud

[Chorus]
Anwen, the dark is only softness falling over you
there's nowhere in this night that isn't kind to you
rest now, let the hours go quiet in the glen
you are the calmest thing I've ever known, Anwen

[Outro]
The leaves have stopped their moving now, the canvas still and warm
you are held here safely, past the reach of any storm
