Wet Leaves, Porch Light
Style: Vibraphone drift

[Verse 1]
The porch light hums soft over leaves left wet by the rain
and moths turn slow circles like they've nowhere else to be
I watch that gentle glow and think of you again
how safe this little corner of the world can feel to me

[Chorus]
Gareth, close your eyes now, let the porch light burn low
Nothing in this house tonight will let you go
Gareth, the leaves are shining soft with the rain they know
and you are held so warmly, wherever dreams may go

[Verse 2]
The night wraps round the house the way I wrap round you
soft as moth wings brushing gently past the glass
Everything outside is calm, and everything is true
and this quiet moment here is built to last

[Pre-chorus]
Shh now, let the dark be kind and let the hours be slow
Every breath you take is safe beneath this glow
There's nothing you must carry, nothing you must know

[Chorus]
Gareth, close your eyes now, let the porch light burn low
Nothing in this house tonight will let you go
Gareth, the leaves are shining soft with the rain they know
and you are held so warmly, wherever dreams may go

[Bridge]
Sleep now, the moths keep watch above the door
and I'll be here still when the morning comes for sure

[Chorus]
Gareth, close your eyes now, let the porch light burn low
Nothing in this house tonight will let you go
Gareth, the leaves are shining soft with the rain they know
and you are held so warmly, wherever dreams may go

[Outro]
The leaves will still be glistening when you wake with the light
Sleep well, you were loved through every hour of the night
