Pine Shadows
Style: Soft piano

[Verse 1]
Watch how the pine boughs sway soft on the pane
Small shapes go dancing and settle again
Nothing can reach you, no need to be brave
Sleep is a shoreline and you are the wave

[Chorus]
Muriel, Muriel, close your eyes now
There is no hurry, no sound, no somehow
Muriel, sleep where the quiet is wide
Held by the dark and the warmth at your side

[Verse 2]
Needles cast lines on the wood where you lie
Soft moving fingers that wave you goodnight
Every small shadow is tucked in with you
Nothing will wake till the morning comes through

[Pre-chorus]
Breathe with the hush that is filling the room
Feel how the light leans away with the moon
Let your eyes follow it down into

[Chorus]
Muriel, Muriel, close your eyes now
There is no hurry, no sound, no somehow
Muriel, sleep where the quiet is wide
Held by the dark and the warmth at your side

[Bridge]
You are the calm that the whole house is keeping
Wrapped up in stillness, the safest of sleeping

[Chorus]
Muriel, Muriel, close your eyes now
There is no hurry, no sound, no somehow
Muriel, sleep where the quiet is wide
Held by the dark and the warmth at your side

[Outro]
The pine shapes still sway though your eyes have gone still
Rest now, dear heart, and the night holds you well
