Green Above You
Style: Soft piano

[Verse 1]
Green leaves are swaying soft above your little bed tonight
Wind moves so gently, careful not to wake you with its might
Nothing can reach you, nothing can touch where you lie
You're held so closely underneath this wide and quiet sky

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the branches whisper low and slow above your head
Every small breath you take is answered by the wind instead
So let your eyes grow heavy, let the dark come soft and near

[Chorus]
Blanche, my love is deeper than the shade the leaves let fall
Sleep now, Blanche, there's nothing in the dark to fear at all
Somewhere leaves are turning, somewhere branches gently sway
You are loved past counting, Blanche, and you will be come day

[Verse 2]
Somewhere far above you, dark green leaves keep watch tonight
Cradled underneath them, you are held and you are right
No storm could touch this quiet, no cold could reach this deep
You are wrapped in something steady while you drift to sleep

[Bridge]
Rest now, little one, the wind has nowhere else to be
It only stays to rock you gently, watching over thee
Let the branches murmur softer than a lullaby could say

[Chorus]
Blanche, my love is deeper than the shade the leaves let fall
Sleep now, Blanche, there's nothing in the dark to fear at all
Somewhere leaves are turning, somewhere branches gently sway
You are loved past counting, Blanche, and you will be come day

[Outro]
Sleep now beneath the green that leans so low to keep you warm
Nothing in this quiet night will ever bring you harm
