Wet Leaves
Style: Soft piano

[Verse 1]
Somewhere a wheel has stopped turning under branches hanging low
Resting so quiet on leaves that the whole wood seems to know
Nothing tonight has to hurry or travel anywhere far
And that is how I hold you, Caleb, safe and slow

[Pre-chorus]
The dark outside is gentle, it only wants to stay
It folds around the garden and softly waits for day
So let your breathing settle, there's nowhere else to be

[Chorus]
Caleb, close your eyes now, let the quiet in
Nothing needs to move tonight, not one single thing
Caleb, you are held here, warm beneath my arm
Sleep is just the leaves, and you the gentle rain

[Verse 2]
Low branches lean together like they're whispering goodnight
Water on the leaf tops catching one last bit of light
Everything is settling, folding softly into rest
And you are the softest part of all I see tonight

[Pre-chorus]
The dark outside is gentle, it only wants to stay
It folds around the garden and softly waits for day
So let your breathing settle, there's nowhere else to be

[Chorus]
Caleb, close your eyes now, let the quiet in
Nothing needs to move tonight, not one single thing
Caleb, you are held here, warm beneath my arm
Sleep is just the leaves, and you the gentle rain

[Bridge]
Nothing far away tonight, no road to travel on
Just the hush of leaves outside and you till morning comes

[Chorus]
Caleb, close your eyes now, let the quiet in
Nothing needs to move tonight, not one single thing
Caleb, you are held here, warm beneath my arm
Sleep is just the leaves, and you the gentle rain

[Outro]
Somewhere still a wheel is resting quiet on the ground
And you are just as still now, safe till morning's found
