Rain on the Hood
Style: Folk cradle song

[Verse 1]
Under the old oak the raindrops start to fall
soft little knocks on the hood above your bed
you are the warmest, smallest thing among them all
safe while the branches sway their sleep above your head

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the dark is only a blanket pulled in tight
nothing can reach you through the leaves and rain
close those eyes slow and let go of the light

[Chorus]
Nova, the rain is singing soft just for you
Nova, my dear one, sink into the deep
every small patter is telling you true
you are the treasure I'm rocking to sleep

[Verse 2]
Somewhere the wind is turning leaves in the grey
but you are wrapped where nothing wild can go
dreaming beneath where the old branches sway
you are the warmth that keeps out all the cold

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the dark is only a blanket pulled in tight
nothing can reach you through the leaves and rain
close those eyes slow and let go of the light

[Chorus]
Nova, the rain is singing soft just for you
Nova, my dear one, sink into the deep
every small patter is telling you true
you are the treasure I'm rocking to sleep

[Bridge]
Let every drop be a lullaby falling slow
you are held closer than the hood holds back the rain

[Chorus]
Nova, the rain is singing soft just for you
Nova, my dear one, sink into the deep
every small patter is telling you true
you are the treasure I'm rocking to sleep

[Outro]
The oak still leans while the rain taps soft overhead
you are safe now, Nova, drifting off to sleep
