Soft Beneath the Pines
Style: Humming choir

[Verse 1]
Somewhere the old tyre swing has gone still and quiet tonight
Pine needles hold it soft like they know just how to be kind
Nothing is asking to move, nothing is asking to hurry
You are the reason this whole evening finally settles right

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the dark green branches lean in low
Every small sound in the yard is turning slow and slower
Sleep is right here, waiting warm for you to let it grow

[Chorus]
Cerys, the night has folded softly down around your bed
Nobody's rushing you, nobody's counting what gets said
Rest in the hush that's been saved just for you, only you
Cerys, sleep easy, there's nothing waiting to be feared

[Verse 2]
Underneath the leaves the air keeps still like it's holding you close
Shadows lie down gentle, not one of them means any harm
You are held tighter than any rope tied around a branch
Safe as the ground that never once let that old swing go

[Bridge]
Let the whole world hush now, let it wait outside your door
You don't have to keep it turning anymore

[Chorus]
Cerys, the night has folded softly down around your bed
Nobody's rushing you, nobody's counting what gets said
Rest in the hush that's been saved just for you, only you
Cerys, sleep easy, there's nothing waiting to be feared

[Outro]
Somewhere the tyre still rests where the pine needles fell
Sleep now, you're held, and that is all there is to tell
