Wet Leaves, Quiet Sky
Style: Clarinet nightlight

[Verse 1]
Somewhere out there the leaves are shining softly wet
holding onto moonlight that the grey sky lent them still
and just like them you carry every drop you get
filling up with love until it spills against my will

[Pre-chorus]
The dark outside is gentle, it is only resting there
and nothing in this shadow means you ever sleep alone
so let the hush come closer, let it settle in your hair

[Chorus]
Nicole, the whole wide night is holding you tonight
close as breath, as steady as the moon up in the sky
nothing here will hurt you, you are wrapped up safe and tight
Nicole, my quiet comfort, this is where you'll always lie

[Verse 2]
The bush stands very still beneath a sky of soft grey light
not needing any sound at all to prove that it is there
and you don't need a single word to make this feel so right
your breathing is enough to fill this whole and quiet air

[Pre-chorus]
The dark outside is gentle, it is only resting there
and nothing in this shadow means you ever sleep alone
so let the hush come closer, let it settle in your hair

[Chorus]
Nicole, the whole wide night is holding you tonight
close as breath, as steady as the moon up in the sky
nothing here will hurt you, you are wrapped up safe and tight
Nicole, my quiet comfort, this is where you'll always lie

[Bridge]
No need to keep watch, no need to hold on tight
I am here beside you, steady through the fading light

[Chorus]
Nicole, the whole wide night is holding you tonight
close as breath, as steady as the moon up in the sky
nothing here will hurt you, you are wrapped up safe and tight
Nicole, my quiet comfort, this is where you'll always lie

[Outro]
Somewhere the leaves are glistening, holding their small share of light
and just like them you're held here, safe and shining, through the night
