Softly the Ivy Sleeps
Style: Ambient wash

[Verse 1]
Ivy leans on the glass while the whole house breathes slower
Dew is sliding down softly, so gentle, so small
Nothing out in the dark tonight needs you to know it
Only rest, only quiet, only you through it all

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes, let the shadows keep watch by the window
Every drop on the leaves has a hush it can lend
You are held while the night goes on turning so slowly

[Chorus]
Dawn, you are safe as the dark settles round you
Warm as a light that will never be gone
Somebody's here for as long as night's found you
Sleep now, my Dawn, sleep now, my Dawn

[Verse 2]
Somewhere the ivy still drips on the sill in the stillness
Little the sound, but it says that the world is still kind
Rest doesn't ask you to answer for anything tonight
Nothing to carry, no reason, no hurry to find

[Bridge]
Let every worry dissolve like the dew on the pane
Nothing tonight has the weight to return once again

[Chorus]
Dawn, you are safe as the dark settles round you
Warm as a light that will never be gone
Somebody's here for as long as night's found you
Sleep now, my Dawn, sleep now, my Dawn

[Outro]
The ivy will still be there tapping when morning comes creeping
Rest now, my Dawn, you are held through the sleeping
