The Slow Branches
Style: Celesta and strings

[Verse 1]
Above you the branches are swaying so slow tonight
Painting their shapes in a soft moving weft
Nothing can reach you, you're held safe and tight
Close up your eyes now, my own little Geoff

[Pre-chorus]
The dark isn't heavy, it's soft as a glove
Every small breath that you take I am counting
Sleep is just quiet wrapped up in your love

[Chorus]
Geoff, the night is only you and me
Nothing in the world could love you more than this
Rest now, Geoff, and drift out to sea
Wrapped in the warmth of a slow gentle kiss

[Verse 2]
Somewhere a window is letting in starlight
Falling in patterns like patterns on a shelf
You are the reason I'm holding on so tight
There's no one as precious to me as yourself

[Chorus]
Geoff, the night is only you and me
Nothing in the world could love you more than this
Rest now, Geoff, and drift out to sea
Wrapped in the warmth of a slow gentle kiss

[Bridge]
Sleep now, and let the whole house grow still
Nothing tonight is going to ask more of you than rest

[Chorus]
Geoff, the night is only you and me
Nothing in the world could love you more than this
Rest now, Geoff, and drift out to sea
Wrapped in the warmth of a slow gentle kiss

[Outro]
The branches keep moving so slow overhead
Sleep tight now, Geoff, safe and warm in your bed
