Moonlight Through the Leaves
Style: Accordion cradle

[Verse 1]
Moonlight slips across your wall and finds a home tonight
Leaves outside are painting shadows soft and edged with light
Somewhere far an owl is calling low and slow and true
Nothing in this quiet house can come between me and you

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes and let the dark feel like a friend
Every little sound out there is just the night's own breathing
Let it carry you to sleep before it has to end

[Chorus]
Ethan, hush now, let the hours drift away
Nothing waits to harm you, only rest and gentle grey
Ethan, you are held here, warm beneath the sheet
Safe as any heartbeat, safe as sleep is sweet

[Verse 2]
Branches sway a little dance against the window pane
Shadows on your ceiling never bring a bit of pain
You are wrapped in blankets thick as any love could be
Nothing in this whole wide night is stronger than what holds you close to me

[Chorus]
Ethan, hush now, let the hours drift away
Nothing waits to harm you, only rest and gentle grey
Ethan, you are held here, warm beneath the sheet
Safe as any heartbeat, safe as sleep is sweet

[Bridge]
Sleep can feel like floating on a river slow and wide
Every breath you're breathing keeps you drifting on that quiet tide

[Chorus]
Ethan, hush now, let the hours drift away
Nothing waits to harm you, only rest and gentle grey
Ethan, you are held here, warm beneath the sheet
Safe as any heartbeat, safe as sleep is sweet

[Outro]
Moonlight still is resting soft and easy on the wall
Sleep now, little one, you're loved through every hour, through it all
