Leaves Come Down So Slow
Style: Harp lullaby

[Verse 1]
Leaves come down so slow above the pram tonight
Nothing in this world will come to trouble you
Every falling one is settling out of sight
Sleep is close and soft and it is true

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the branches sway you into rest
Warmth is folded round you, closer than a breath
Close your eyes, my darling, let the dark be kind

[Chorus]
Mia, Mia, sleep beneath the tree
Nothing in the night will ever frighten you
Small and warm and wrapped so no one else can see
Mia, there is nothing you need do

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past the branches, all the stars are lit
Watching over you as gently as the breeze
You are held so closely, you can rest in it
There is nothing waiting that you need to seize

[Bridge]
Rest now, let the evening carry you along
Nothing in the shadows knows a sweeter song

[Chorus]
Mia, Mia, sleep beneath the tree
Nothing in the night will ever frighten you
Small and warm and wrapped so no one else can see
Mia, there is nothing you need do

[Outro]
Still the leaves come down around the sleeping pram
Sleep now, little one, exactly as you are
