Under the Lilac Dark
Style: Rain and piano

[Verse 1]
The lawn chair sits so still beneath the lilac tree tonight
Its damp seat holding on to all the fading evening light
But you are warm and dry and tucked in safe beside me here
So let the dark come soft and slow, there's nothing left to fear

[Chorus]
Cheryl, close your eyes now, let the quiet in
Cheryl, you're the softest hush the night has ever seen
Sleep is only love that's learned to hum a gentle tune
And you are held so dearly underneath this rising moon

[Verse 2]
The branches lean together like they're whispering goodnight
The rain has stopped but left the garden shining, silver bright
And just like every drop that rests upon a sleeping leaf
You carry all my quiet love, my calm, my sweet relief

[Pre-chorus]
Somewhere past the window the whole wide world has slowed right down
Every little worry has been gently laid to ground
So let your breathing follow mine and drift where dreams are found

[Chorus]
Cheryl, close your eyes now, let the quiet in
Cheryl, you're the softest hush the night has ever seen
Sleep is only love that's learned to hum a gentle tune
And you are held so dearly underneath this rising moon

[Bridge]
Nothing in this house will stir before the morning comes
Only steady hearts and rain still humming soft as drums
You are the warmest thing this quiet night has ever known

[Chorus]
Cheryl, close your eyes now, let the quiet in
Cheryl, you're the softest hush the night has ever seen
Sleep is only love that's learned to hum a gentle tune
And you are held so dearly underneath this rising moon

[Outro]
The lawn chair waits out there for morning, damp and calm and still
And you will wake up loved, exactly as you always will
