Under the Heavy Leaves
Style: Ambient wash

[Verse 1]
Heavy leaves are brushing softly on the dark above your head
Every whisper of the branches means it's time to be in bed
Nothing in this quiet garden means you any kind of harm
Close your eyes and let the evening fold you in its arm

[Pre-chorus]
Twilight settles slow and easy, breathing out its gentle hush
Nothing here will hurry you, there isn't any rush
Rest is coming closer now, as soft as it can be

[Chorus]
Maverick, the dark is only kindness wrapped in grey
Sleep will carry all your little worries far away
Maverick, I'm holding you as gently as I can
Nothing in this whole wide night can touch you where you land

[Verse 2]
Somewhere up above the leaves are swaying calm and slow
Watching over you tonight, they've nowhere else to go
You are held here safely, wrapped in shadow soft and deep
Let your busy little heart lie down at last and sleep

[Bridge]
However far the branches lean or however dark it grows
You are still the dearest thing this quiet garden knows

[Chorus]
Maverick, the dark is only kindness wrapped in grey
Sleep will carry all your little worries far away
Maverick, I'm holding you as gently as I can
Nothing in this whole wide night can touch you where you land

[Outro]
Heavy leaves will hush and settle, still against the sky
Sleep now, little Maverick, safe as leaves that never sigh
