Under the Green Branches
Style: Gentle acoustic

[Verse 1]
The dark canvas rocks you soft above the sleeping wheels tonight
Every little sway is carrying you gently toward the light of dreams
Heavy green branches lean down low to watch you settle
There is nowhere safer for you than this small and quiet flight

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the swaying carry all your worries far
Feel how slow and warm the evening folds around just where you are
Sleep is coming closer, soft as breath, to find you

[Chorus]
Laura, the whole wide night is holding you so tender and so near
Nothing in this hour could ever bring you harm or fear
You are the calm that every branch bends down to shelter
Laura, sleep, for you are loved and you are dear

[Verse 2]
The wheels beneath you turn so slow they barely make a sound
Shadows from the leaves are drawing soft green circles all around
You are wrapped in something steady, something certain
Nothing needs to hurry now, no reason can be found

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the swaying carry all your worries far
Feel how slow and warm the evening folds around just where you are
Sleep is coming closer, soft as breath, to find you

[Chorus]
Laura, the whole wide night is holding you so tender and so near
Nothing in this hour could ever bring you harm or fear
You are the calm that every branch bends down to shelter
Laura, sleep, for you are loved and you are dear

[Bridge]
Every branch above you learned to bend so it could keep you warm
Rest inside the quiet, you were never meant for storm

[Chorus]
Laura, the whole wide night is holding you so tender and so near
Nothing in this hour could ever bring you harm or fear
You are the calm that every branch bends down to shelter
Laura, sleep, for you are loved and you are dear

[Outro]
The canvas settles slow above you as the wheels grow still
Sleep now, Laura, safe beneath the green and gentle hill
