Dew on the Vine
Style: Folk cradle song

[Verse 1]
The garden holds its breath beneath a pale and quiet moon
Every leaf is heavy now with dew that came so soon
Nothing needs to move tonight, nothing needs to grow
And you are held as gently as that soft and silver glow

[Chorus]
Hugo, Hugo, close your eyes and let the night be true
There is nowhere calmer in the world than here with you
Every star has settled down to watch the way you sleep
Hugo, you are loved so deep, so deep, so deep

[Verse 2]
The tomato leaves are bending soft beneath their silver weight
Nothing in this garden ever needs to rush or wait
Stillness is the kindest thing that darkness has to show
And you are safe beneath it all, however far you go

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the quiet wrap around you like a vine
Feel how soft the darkness is, how easy, how benign
Sleep is only love that's learned to slow and fold in two

[Chorus]
Hugo, Hugo, close your eyes and let the night be true
There is nowhere calmer in the world than here with you
Every star has settled down to watch the way you sleep
Hugo, you are loved so deep, so deep, so deep

[Bridge]
Every drop upon the leaf was waiting just for you
Small and bright and full of all the moon shines down and knew

[Chorus]
Hugo, Hugo, close your eyes and let the night be true
There is nowhere calmer in the world than here with you
Every star has settled down to watch the way you sleep
Hugo, you are loved so deep, so deep, so deep

[Outro]
The garden sleeps beneath its coat of quiet silver dew
And I will hold this moonlit hush right here with you
