Under the Fern
Style: Rain and piano

[Verse 1]
The watering can rests quiet beneath the dark fern leaf tonight
holding onto raindrops like a secret held so tight
nothing needs to happen now, nothing needs to grow
and you are just as safe, curled soft and out of sight

[Chorus]
Gloria, Gloria, the night has come to hold you
close and warm within the story that unfolds you
sleep is just a garden where the quiet things bloom slow
and Gloria, my Gloria, I will not let go

[Verse 2]
Somewhere in the garden the last light is folding in
the fern leaf bends to shelter what the evening brings
you don't need to wonder what tomorrow's made of yet
just rest inside the hush that this small moment sings

[Pre-chorus]
Let the damp air settle soft around your sleepy head
let every worry empty out like water from a bed
there's nothing you need carry now, so let it all be said

[Chorus]
Gloria, Gloria, the night has come to hold you
close and warm within the story that unfolds you
sleep is just a garden where the quiet things bloom slow
and Gloria, my Gloria, I will not let go

[Bridge]
You are the warmest thing I know inside this dark
brighter than any morning that the sky could start
rest now, and let the whole wide world wait outside the door

[Chorus]
Gloria, Gloria, the night has come to hold you
close and warm within the story that unfolds you
sleep is just a garden where the quiet things bloom slow
and Gloria, my Gloria, I will not let go

[Outro]
Somewhere the fern leaf still curls around its small, kept treasure
and you sleep on, held safe, beyond all measure
