Green Rain
Style: Rocking chair waltz

[Verse 1]
Leaves are letting their last drops fall down slow and small
The afternoon is folding up its light against the wall
Somewhere close a branch is shaking off the evening rain
And nothing out there in the dark can reach you again

[Pre-chorus]
The hood above you holds the whole wide sky away
Every drop that falls is just the day saying goodnight
So let your eyes grow heavy now, there's nowhere you should be

[Chorus]
Magnolia, the dark is only resting over you
Magnolia, the green leaves know just what to do
They catch the falling rain so none of it gets through
Sleep now, little one, there's nothing here but you

[Verse 2]
The afternoon breathes slower as it settles into grey
Somewhere a drop is sliding down to end its day
You don't need to know where all the daylight's gone
Only that this rocking will keep going on and on

[Bridge]
Rain on the leaves above is just a gentle sound
Nothing in this whole wide world can put your safety down

[Chorus]
Magnolia, the dark is only resting over you
Magnolia, the green leaves know just what to do
They catch the falling rain so none of it gets through
Sleep now, little one, there's nothing here but you

[Outro]
The last leaf lets its last small drop of water go
And you are sleeping warm below, however soft it falls
