Under the Low Branches
Style: Accordion cradle

[Verse 1]
Leaf shadows drift across the hood where you lie still and warm
Softly the branches bend to keep you sheltered from the storm
Your breathing slows to match the sway of every gentle limb
Nothing tonight can reach you here, no need to fear the dim

[Pre-chorus]
Quiet settles deeper than the hush of falling light
Close your eyes and let the dark feel soft instead of tight
Somewhere near, a steady hand is watching over your night

[Chorus]
Constance, Constance, rest here safe with me
Nothing but the dark and the sway of a tree
Every little shadow is a friend you can trust
Sleep now, little Constance, there is no one you must

[Verse 2]
Light moves slow across the fabric, patient as a passing chance
Even shadows seem to pause and settle into their own dance
You are held here closer than the hush that wraps the trees
Nothing in this quiet hour will ever let you freeze

[Pre-chorus]
Quiet settles deeper than the hush of falling light
Close your eyes and let the dark feel soft instead of tight
Somewhere near, a steady hand is watching over your night

[Chorus]
Constance, Constance, rest here safe with me
Nothing but the dark and the sway of a tree
Every little shadow is a friend you can trust
Sleep now, little Constance, there is no one you must

[Bridge]
Hush now, there is nothing waiting past this gentle shade
Every worry of the day has already softly fade

[Chorus]
Constance, Constance, rest here safe with me
Nothing but the dark and the sway of a tree
Every little shadow is a friend you can trust
Sleep now, little Constance, there is no one you must

[Outro]
Let the branches keep their watch while the shadows softly roam
Sleep now, little Constance, you are already home
