Leaves Over Lana
Style: Cello cradle

[Verse 1]
Leaves are dancing softly on the canvas above your head
Every shadow moves so gently, rocking you to bed
The trees are humming quietly, keeping watch tonight
And the whole wide world grows softer as the light turns red

[Chorus]
Lana, Lana, close your eyes and rest here now
Nothing in the dark can touch you, love will show you how
Somewhere past the branches, the evening bends and sighs
You are held so close, Lana, safe beneath the bough

[Verse 2]
Little breaths are rising slowly, warm beneath the trees
Nothing here can hurry you, no reason and no need
The dappled light is falling soft as feathers on your face
And the night wind hums a tune to carry you with ease

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the shifting shadows carry you away
Nothing waits beyond this moment, nothing needs to stay
Just the gentle sway of branches leading you to

[Chorus]
Lana, Lana, close your eyes and rest here now
Nothing in the dark can touch you, love will show you how
Somewhere past the branches, the evening bends and sighs
You are held so close, Lana, safe beneath the bough

[Bridge]
Every leaf above you falls to guard your sleeping face
You are cradled gently in this quiet, moving place

[Chorus]
Lana, Lana, close your eyes and rest here now
Nothing in the dark can touch you, love will show you how
Somewhere past the branches, the evening bends and sighs
You are held so close, Lana, safe beneath the bough

[Outro]
The leaves will keep on turning long after you're asleep
Rest now, little Lana, love is yours to keep
