Shadows on the Hood
Style: Cello cradle

[Verse 1]
Drizzle taps so softly on the fabric over your head
Little leaf shapes wander slow across the grey above you
Nothing out there hurries and there's nothing to be feared
Rain is just the night's way of saying that I love you

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes and let the small world dim and blur
Feel the hush that gathers when the light begins to fade
Sleep is coming gently, it remembers who you are

[Chorus]
Leah, hear the quiet as it wraps around your bed
Every little worry has already drifted far
You are safe as moonlight resting soft above your head
Leah, you're my dearest and my only idea

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past the window all the world has slowed to grey
Shadows move so gently like they're careful not to wake you
Nothing needs an answer, there's no reason and no way
Only breathing softly while the dark begins to take you

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes and let the small world dim and blur
Feel the hush that gathers when the light begins to fade
Sleep is coming gently, it remembers who you are

[Chorus]
Leah, hear the quiet as it wraps around your bed
Every little worry has already drifted far
You are safe as moonlight resting soft above your head
Leah, you're my dearest and my only idea

[Bridge]
Rain will pass by morning and the grey will turn to gold
But you'll still be held here long after it is gone

[Chorus]
Leah, hear the quiet as it wraps around your bed
Every little worry has already drifted far
You are safe as moonlight resting soft above your head
Leah, you're my dearest and my only idea

[Outro]
Let the shadows settle soft and slow across your face
Sleep now, little Leah, you are held in this warm place
