Shadows on the Wall
Style: Accordion cradle

[Verse 1]
Watch how the grey shadows drift so slow across the plaster
brushing the ceiling like they know just where to fall
branches outside sway and hush against the window
and you are held safe through it all

[Pre-chorus]
Nothing out there means you any harm tonight
every small sound is just the wind saying goodnight
and I am staying close till you drift past it all

[Chorus]
Caitlin, the dark is only resting now
soft as a blanket pulled up round your brow
nothing will wake you, nothing will call
Caitlin, I'm here and I love you through it all

[Verse 2]
The branches keep on swaying but they never reach you
only paint the wall with shapes that slowly turn
and every shadow passing is just night moving gently
while you rest in the warmth you've earned

[Pre-chorus]
Nothing out there means you any harm tonight
every small sound is just the wind saying goodnight
and I am staying close till you drift past it all

[Chorus]
Caitlin, the dark is only resting now
soft as a blanket pulled up round your brow
nothing will wake you, nothing will call
Caitlin, I'm here and I love you through it all

[Bridge]
Sleep now, there is nowhere safer than this room
nowhere your small heart could ever fall
I will be here long after the shadows have gone quiet
holding the hush around you like a shawl

[Chorus]
Caitlin, the dark is only resting now
soft as a blanket pulled up round your brow
nothing will wake you, nothing will call
Caitlin, I'm here and I love you through it all

[Outro]
The branches will still be swaying when you wake up warm
and I will still be loving you, the same as always
