Green Above You
Style: Celesta and strings

[Verse 1]
Dark green leaves are rustling soft above your little bed tonight
Every whisper in the branches learns to hold its breath for you
Nothing out there in the shadows ever means you harm or fright
The whole wide world goes quiet now to watch you sleeping through

[Chorus]
Ayla, close your eyes and let the evening carry you
There is no safer harbour than the arms that hold you near
Somewhere soft and warm is waiting, always waiting just for you
Ayla, rest now, nothing in this whole night bring you fear

[Verse 2]
The wind is only rocking you, it never means to wake you
Above your head the green is moving slow like gentle waves
Nothing in the dark tonight has ever come to take you
You are held here closer than the quiet evening behaves

[Pre-chorus]
Let your breathing slow to match the sway of leaves above
Let the hush that's gathering around you settle soft and low
Sleep is only stepping closer, wrapped in all this love

[Chorus]
Ayla, close your eyes and let the evening carry you
There is no safer harbour than the arms that hold you near
Somewhere soft and warm is waiting, always waiting just for you
Ayla, rest now, nothing in this whole night bring you fear

[Bridge]
You are the reason the dark learns to be gentle
Every quiet hour tonight was made to keep you warm

[Chorus]
Ayla, close your eyes and let the evening carry you
There is no safer harbour than the arms that hold you near
Somewhere soft and warm is waiting, always waiting just for you
Ayla, rest now, nothing in this whole night bring you fear

[Outro]
Sleep now while the leaves keep rustling softly overhead
The green will still be watching long after you're in bed
