Green Leaves, Soft Hood
Style: Fingerpicked night

[Verse 1]
Green leaves are trembling soft above your quiet little hood
dusk settles down around us the way it always should
nothing out there in the shadows means a single thing of harm
just evening breathing gently, and you safe and warm

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the light is folding slowly out of sight
stars are only waiting for their moment in the night
close your eyes and drift here, easy as can be

[Chorus]
Eli, Eli, the leaves are swaying you to sleep
this hush is only ours to hold, and ours to keep
you are loved more than the wide sky loves the falling dark
Eli, sleep now, safe within this quiet park

[Verse 2]
Somewhere far off a small wind moves the branches overhead
carrying nothing but a lullaby unsaid
you are held so closely nothing needs to be explained
just the soft world turning gently, calm and unstrained

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the light is folding slowly out of sight
stars are only waiting for their moment in the night
close your eyes and drift here, easy as can be

[Chorus]
Eli, Eli, the leaves are swaying you to sleep
this hush is only ours to hold, and ours to keep
you are loved more than the wide sky loves the falling dark
Eli, sleep now, safe within this quiet park

[Bridge]
Breathe out slow now, let the evening carry every sound away
rest inside the calm that stays and stays

[Chorus]
Eli, Eli, the leaves are swaying you to sleep
this hush is only ours to hold, and ours to keep
you are loved more than the wide sky loves the falling dark
Eli, sleep now, safe within this quiet park

[Outro]
Somewhere above you the leaves have finally grown still
sleep on now, Eli, held gently as the whole night will
