Under the Trees
Style: Accordion cradle

[Verse 1]
The trees are leaning close to keep the wind away tonight
A soft blanket is tucked around you, warm from head to toe
The branches sway to rock you gently into calm delight
You are the sweetest reason that this evening moves so slow

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the hush come drifting soft and low
Every shadow here is gentle, every breath is slow
Rest inside the quiet that was only made for you

[Chorus]
Florence, Florence, sleep beneath the trees so tall
Nothing in this whole wide night could ever cause alarm
Florence, hear how softly evening seems to call
You are held so closely, safe and warm within my arm

[Verse 2]
The moonlight finds its way between the leaves to touch your face
You are dearer than the stillness of this quiet, sleepy place
Somewhere past the branches stars are gathering their light
Nothing in this whole wide world could love you more tonight

[Bridge]
Rock gently, rock slowly, let the darkness feel like home
You never have to wonder if you're carried, or alone

[Chorus]
Florence, Florence, sleep beneath the trees so tall
Nothing in this whole wide night could ever cause alarm
Florence, hear how softly evening seems to call
You are held so closely, safe and warm within my arm

[Outro]
Sleep now underneath the trees where soft light softly falls
You are always safe here, wrapped in warmth that never stalls
