Leaves Over the Pram Hood
Style: Harp lullaby

[Verse 1]
Leaves are dancing soft shadows across the grey wool hood
tracing little patterns the way that all things good
move slowly over you while the evening turns to rest
and I am here beside you, believing you the best

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the quiet hold you tight
feel the hush of everything easing into night
and drift with me a little further into light

[Chorus]
Barry, the stars are coming out to keep you company
soft and slow and steady, just the way you're meant to be
nothing in this wide world could ever carry you from me
Barry, sleep on gently, safe as you can be

[Verse 2]
The wind moves through the branches like a hand upon your hair
and every little shiver says that someone still is there
watching how you settle, loving how you breathe so deep
wrapped in every kindness while you slowly fall asleep

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the quiet hold you tight
feel the hush of everything easing into night
and drift with me a little further into light

[Chorus]
Barry, the stars are coming out to keep you company
soft and slow and steady, just the way you're meant to be
nothing in this wide world could ever carry you from me
Barry, sleep on gently, safe as you can be

[Bridge]
No need to be sorry for the yawns that slow your speech
you are loved past any distance I could ever reach

[Chorus]
Barry, the stars are coming out to keep you company
soft and slow and steady, just the way you're meant to be
nothing in this wide world could ever carry you from me
Barry, sleep on gently, safe as you can be

[Outro]
The leaves will keep their watch above the grey wool hood
and you will sleep here knowing you are always understood
