Under the Low Branch
Style: Flute and pad

[Verse 1]
I carried you home while the green leaves shook above us
Raindrops were catching on the hood pulled round your face
Nothing could reach you while you rode against my shoulder
Safe in the dimming light, held inside that quiet place

[Chorus]
Marjorie, close your eyes now, let the evening carry you
Marjorie, I am here and I am holding on so tight
Nothing in the dark can find its way to touch you
Sleep now, little one, and drift into the night

[Verse 2]
The branches swayed so soft above the wet canvas hood
Every drop that fell was gentle, never sharp or cold
You watched the leaves and let your small hand find mine
That is how the whole wide world was meant to hold

[Pre-chorus]
Rain is only rain when someone's arms are round you
Night is only night when love is standing near
Close your eyes, my love, there's nothing left to fear

[Chorus]
Marjorie, close your eyes now, let the evening carry you
Marjorie, I am here and I am holding on so tight
Nothing in the dark can find its way to touch you
Sleep now, little one, and drift into the night

[Bridge]
Let the wind move slow through every trembling leaf
Let it hum you somewhere warm and soft and low
You are carried, you are certain, you are safe from grief

[Chorus]
Marjorie, close your eyes now, let the evening carry you
Marjorie, I am here and I am holding on so tight
Nothing in the dark can find its way to touch you
Sleep now, little one, and drift into the night

[Outro]
Somewhere the leaves are still swaying above that gentle hood
Rest now, you are cradled, you are loved, you are good
