Justin, Under the Canvas Hood
Style: Rocking chair waltz

[Verse 1]
The little hood above you trembles soft with autumn air
While leaves let go and drift to settle on the grass down there
Nothing out there means you harm tonight
You're wrapped up warm and held with gentle care

[Pre-chorus]
Every leaf has found its bed upon the quiet ground
Every sound outside has softened to a hush and slowed right down
So let your eyes grow heavy now

[Chorus]
Justin, the night is gathering slow and kind around you
Nothing can reach you here, nothing will ever hound you
Rustin' leaves outside are settling just like you will too
Justin, my arms are the safest place I've found you

[Verse 2]
The wind that shakes the little hood is only passing through
It cannot touch the warmth that's tucked in safely close to you
Rest now, there is nowhere you must be
Just this breath, this quiet, and this view

[Chorus]
Justin, the night is gathering slow and kind around you
Nothing can reach you here, nothing will ever hound you
Rustin' leaves outside are settling just like you will too
Justin, my arms are the safest place I've found you

[Bridge]
Adjustin' the blanket, adjustin' the light
I'll stay right beside you and watch through the night
No trustin' in shadows, no fear to pursue
Only stillness, only me here with you

[Chorus]
Justin, the night is gathering slow and kind around you
Nothing can reach you here, nothing will ever hound you
Rustin' leaves outside are settling just like you will too
Justin, my arms are the safest place I've found you

[Outro]
The last leaf settles soft upon the wet and waiting grass
Sleep now, little one, this gentle night will hold you fast
