Quiet as the Dew
Style: Folk cradle song

[Verse 1]
Moonlight is falling soft on every quiet leaf tonight
Somewhere a small breeze hums and then it settles down to rest
Dew gathers gently where it lands without a single sound of flight
You are the calm this whole wide sleepy garden loves the best

[Chorus]
Crystal, hush now, let the darkness hold you near
Nothing in this night was ever meant to make you fret
Crystal, close your eyes, there's nothing you should fear
Sleep will wrap you softer than the leaves the dew has met

[Verse 2]
Every star tonight has found its quiet place to rest and glow
Down below the grass keeps still beneath a silver hush
You are held as gently as that light will ever go
Nothing here will ever wake you with a hurried rush

[Pre-chorus]
Feel how slow the whole wide night has learned to breathe
Nothing here will come to pull you out of dreaming deep
Let your worries drift away and gently take their leave

[Chorus]
Crystal, hush now, let the darkness hold you near
Nothing in this night was ever meant to make you fret
Crystal, close your eyes, there's nothing you should fear
Sleep will wrap you softer than the leaves the dew has met

[Bridge]
Even when the morning comes to wake the waiting sky
You will still be loved as softly as this hush right now

[Chorus]
Crystal, hush now, let the darkness hold you near
Nothing in this night was ever meant to make you fret
Crystal, close your eyes, there's nothing you should fear
Sleep will wrap you softer than the leaves the dew has met

[Outro]
Somewhere still the dew is resting quiet on its leaf
Sleep now, small one, held the whole night through in peace
