Owl on the Branch
Style: Accordion cradle

[Verse 1]
An owl on the branch is keeping watch tonight
Its eyes are soft and slow above the sleeping trees
And you are held so close and wrapped up warm and tight
While the whole wide world breathes gently on the breeze

[Pre-chorus]
The house is quiet now, the lamp is turned down low
Every little sound has settled into rest
And you are drifting where the calmest rivers flow

[Chorus]
Freddie, Freddie, close your eyes and let it go
Somebody loves you more than you could ever know
Steady as the moonlight, soft as falling snow
Freddie, you are safe here, and I won't let go

[Verse 2]
The branch outside your window barely moves at all
Just a gentle shape against a sky gone deep and blue
And nothing in the dark tonight can reach you where you fall
Into a sleep as deep and kind as morning dew

[Pre-chorus]
The house is quiet now, the lamp is turned down low
Every little sound has settled into rest
And you are drifting where the calmest rivers flow

[Chorus]
Freddie, Freddie, close your eyes and let it go
Somebody loves you more than you could ever know
Steady as the moonlight, soft as falling snow
Freddie, you are safe here, and I won't let go

[Bridge]
Sleep now, and let the quiet carry you along
Nothing can touch you here, wrapped up in this small song

[Chorus]
Freddie, Freddie, close your eyes and let it go
Somebody loves you more than you could ever know
Steady as the moonlight, soft as falling snow
Freddie, you are safe here, and I won't let go

[Outro]
The owl will keep its watch till morning comes around
Rest now, Freddie, safe and warm and gently found
