Dewdrop and Moonlight
Style: Soft piano

[Verse 1]
Somewhere the moonlight is finding a small silver drop
holding it softly before it lets go and it stops
Nothing is rushing tonight in this quiet garden air
you are the reason the dark doesn't feel like a drop

[Chorus]
Marion, Marion, close your eyes now
sleep is a garden and you are the bough
Rest here where nothing can ever come harm you
Marion, the night only carries you now

[Verse 2]
Down every leaf a small trembling water is falling
slow as a breath when the whole house is stalling
Quiet has covered the field like a heavy warm blanket
you are the calm that the darkness keeps calling

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the leaves have stopped their soft swaying
every small light in the sky is delaying
just for the hush of the words I am saying

[Chorus]
Marion, Marion, close your eyes now
sleep is a garden and you are the bough
Rest here where nothing can ever come harm you
Marion, the night only carries you now

[Bridge]
Let the dark be a blanket, soft and unhurried
let your breathing grow slow like a stream that's not worried
Nothing will wake you, nothing will find you
the whole quiet night has curled up close behind you

[Chorus]
Marion, Marion, close your eyes now
sleep is a garden and you are the bough
Rest here where nothing can ever come harm you
Marion, the night only carries you now

[Outro]
Somewhere the dewdrop still shines on its leaf in the quiet
and you are the light that will still be here at daylight
