Acorns Falling Soft
Style: Glockenspiel

[Verse 1]
Leaves are shivering softly over the hood above your head
Every small shadow is dancing so slow and so kind
Somewhere an acorn is dropping down onto the gravel
You are held closer than anything you'll ever find

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the evening grow still
Nothing will reach you, nothing will climb these walls
Rest here a moment while the whole night grows small

[Chorus]
Milo, the dark is only a blanket pulled soft and low
Nothing can touch you, nothing can pull you away
You are the warmest thing that this whole night can know
Milo, my Milo, sleep until the break of day

[Verse 2]
Somewhere outside the gravel is catching the falling acorns
Little and steady, like a heartbeat learning to stay
You breathe so slowly, softer than any leaf could ever fall
Sleep is a small boat that will carry you till day

[Chorus]
Milo, the dark is only a blanket pulled soft and low
Nothing can touch you, nothing can pull you away
You are the warmest thing that this whole night can know
Milo, my Milo, sleep until the break of day

[Bridge]
Hush now, the branches are settling their gentle sway
Nothing will wake before the morning finds its way

[Chorus]
Milo, the dark is only a blanket pulled soft and low
Nothing can touch you, nothing can pull you away
You are the warmest thing that this whole night can know
Milo, my Milo, sleep until the break of day

[Outro]
Leaves will keep shivering long after you have drifted
Sleep now, small acorn, safe beneath the quiet sky
