Ivy on the Wall
Style: Clarinet nightlight

[Verse 1]
Dark green ivy shivers soft against the old brick wall
Trembling gently in a hush too small to ever fall
Every leaf is holding on before the evening's call
And you are held much closer than the ivy is at all

[Pre-chorus]
The wind outside is settling into slower, softer breath
The wall stands warm and steady, guarding all it holds beneath
And something in the quiet keeps on reaching out for you

[Chorus]
Hassan, the night is folding gently over everything
Nothing here can touch you while the darkness starts to sing
Close your eyes, Hassan, let the stillness be your friend
Wrapped in love that never falters, never has to end

[Verse 2]
The leaves have stopped their trembling now, they're resting on the stone
Nothing moves against the wall, the garden's turned to bone
But warmth is what remains here when the busy day has gone
And you are what this quiet house was always leaning on

[Pre-chorus]
The wind outside is settling into slower, softer breath
The wall stands warm and steady, guarding all it holds beneath
And something in the quiet keeps on reaching out for you

[Chorus]
Hassan, the night is folding gently over everything
Nothing here can touch you while the darkness starts to sing
Close your eyes, Hassan, let the stillness be your friend
Wrapped in love that never falters, never has to end

[Bridge]
Every root beneath the wall is holding steady through the dark
Nothing here will let you go, no shadow leaves its mark

[Chorus]
Hassan, the night is folding gently over everything
Nothing here can touch you while the darkness starts to sing
Close your eyes, Hassan, let the stillness be your friend
Wrapped in love that never falters, never has to end

[Outro]
The ivy rests unmoving now against the sleeping wall
And you are safe and certain as the quiet holds it all
