Silver on the Leaves
Style: Fingerpicked night

[Verse 1]
Moonlight rests so quiet on the cabbage leaves tonight
Every drop of dew is catching all that silver light
You are curled up warmer than the softest little nest
Close your eyes now, darling, let your busy day rest

[Chorus]
Cruz, my dear one, sleep is calling low and slow
Nothing in this whole wide night will let the shadows grow
Cruz, the stars are watching over everything you do
Sleep now, sleep now, this quiet world was made for you

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past the window all the garden holds its breath
Little beads of moonlight settle soft as gentle rest
You don't need to worry, every corner here is kept safe
Drift along on dreams that carry you to morning's gate

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the darkness wrap you soft and slow
Nothing in this house will ever let you go
Just breathe it in and feel the calm begin to grow

[Chorus]
Cruz, my dear one, sleep is calling low and slow
Nothing in this whole wide night will let the shadows grow
Cruz, the stars are watching over everything you do
Sleep now, sleep now, this quiet world was made for you

[Bridge]
Somewhere out beyond the hedges, silver settles still and deep
Let it hold you gently, softly, all the way to sleep

[Chorus]
Cruz, my dear one, sleep is calling low and slow
Nothing in this whole wide night will let the shadows grow
Cruz, the stars are watching over everything you do
Sleep now, sleep now, this quiet world was made for you

[Outro]
Morning comes and finds the dew still shining on the ground
Rest now, dear one, safe and easy, wrapped in calm and sound
