The Shadows Wont Stay
Style: Glockenspiel

[Verse 1]
The branches draw their shapes across the pale wall so slowly
Watching them drift is enough to make your eyelids grow heavy
Nothing tonight is sharp or loud or the least bit scary
Every soft shadow that moves is on your side completely

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the hush of the room hold you steady
The night has nowhere else to be but curled up here already
So let the quiet gather round until you're ready to drift

[Chorus]
Jade, the dark is only a blanket that the evening made
Nothing out there in the hush can ever make you afraid
You are held so gently here, safe in the warmth you're given
Jade, you are the reason this small room feels like heaven

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past the window the wind is turning leaves to whispers
But nothing in this room will ever ask you to listen
You can let the whole wide world grow distant and forgiven
Sleep is just a boat that carries you where you're missing

[Chorus]
Jade, the dark is only a blanket that the evening made
Nothing out there in the hush can ever make you afraid
You are held so gently here, safe in the warmth you're given
Jade, you are the reason this small room feels like heaven

[Bridge]
Every shadow that moves is only the branches swaying
No storm, no sound, no far off thing worth staying awake for
Rest now, there is nothing here that needs you praying
You are already loved beyond what any words are for

[Chorus]
Jade, the dark is only a blanket that the evening made
Nothing out there in the hush can ever make you afraid
You are held so gently here, safe in the warmth you're given
Jade, you are the reason this small room feels like heaven

[Outro]
The branches will keep drifting slow across the wall till morning
While you sleep on, so loved, so warm, so far past any warning
