Slow Falling Acorns
Style: Music box

[Verse 1]
Shadows are sliding soft across your little hood tonight
Somewhere an acorn taps the gravel, quiet as a sigh
You are the calm inside this slow and drifting light
Close your eyes now, let the evening rock you as it goes by

[Chorus]
Eva, sleep is coming gentle, coming soft and slow
Nothing in this whole wide dark can ever touch you here
Every little sound tonight is just for you to know
Eva, you are held and warm, you have no need to fear

[Verse 2]
Leaves are dancing quiet shapes that wander as they please
Rolling small and round, the acorns settle down to rest
Feel the hush that gathers now beneath the whispering trees
You are safe as anything that this old night has blessed

[Pre-chorus]
Hear how soft the falling world has grown around your bed
Nothing here will hurry you, no reason left to wake
Sleep is only waiting now for what your heart has said

[Chorus]
Eva, sleep is coming gentle, coming soft and slow
Nothing in this whole wide dark can ever touch you here
Every little sound tonight is just for you to know
Eva, you are held and warm, you have no need to fear

[Bridge]
Let the small world turn without you for a while
Rest inside the quiet that was always kept for you

[Chorus]
Eva, sleep is coming gentle, coming soft and slow
Nothing in this whole wide dark can ever touch you here
Every little sound tonight is just for you to know
Eva, you are held and warm, you have no need to fear

[Outro]
Somewhere still the acorns fall so softly on the ground
You are wrapped in shadows moving slow and safe and sound
