Frost on the Leaves
Style: Flute and pad

[Verse 1]
Frost is creeping soft across the leaves out in the garden
Every little edge is turning silver while you're dreaming
Nothing in the dark tonight will ever reach you here
You are held so close, my love, and I will not forget you

[Pre-chorus]
The whole wide night is settling down to rest around you
Quiet falls on every leaf and every sleepy shadow
And all that hush is leaning in to carry you along

[Chorus]
Emmett, sleep and let the night be gentle
Close your eyes, there's nothing here to fret
Warm and safe as frost upon the garden
I am here, and I will not forget

[Verse 2]
Somewhere out beyond the glass the cold is turning gentle
Wrapping up the fallen leaves like blankets laid so careful
You are wrapped up warmer still inside this quiet room
I will watch you breathing slow until the morning finds you

[Pre-chorus]
The whole wide night is settling down to rest around you
Quiet falls on every leaf and every sleepy shadow
And all that hush is leaning in to carry you along

[Chorus]
Emmett, sleep and let the night be gentle
Close your eyes, there's nothing here to fret
Warm and safe as frost upon the garden
I am here, and I will not forget

[Bridge]
Let the dark be soft, let the hours be slow
Rest is all that matters now, and rest is all you need

[Chorus]
Emmett, sleep and let the night be gentle
Close your eyes, there's nothing here to fret
Warm and safe as frost upon the garden
I am here, and I will not forget

[Outro]
Somewhere the frost is holding every leaf till morning
I'll hold you just the same until the light comes home
