Under a Cold Small Moon
Style: Gentle acoustic

[Verse 1]
The garden holds its breath beneath a cold and slender moon
Dew sits trembling soft on every quiet leaf
You are curled up warm while all the night grows still around you
Sleep is coming gentle, and it won't be brief

[Chorus]
Omar, close your eyes now, let the dark be kind and slow
Nothing here can touch you, near or far
Rest inside the hush that only love like this can grow
You are safe as any drop of dew, my Omar

[Verse 2]
The leaves outside are folding, holding still beneath the sky
Every drop upon them shines a little jar of light
You are held much closer than the moon is to the garden
Wrapped up safe and certain through the whole long night

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the wind go by without a single sound
Let your small breath slow to match the turning of the stars
Sleep is only love, keeping watch till morning comes around

[Chorus]
Omar, close your eyes now, let the dark be kind and slow
Nothing here can touch you, near or far
Rest inside the hush that only love like this can grow
You are safe as any drop of dew, my Omar

[Bridge]
No need to travel further than this quiet room tonight
Everything you need is already this near

[Chorus]
Omar, close your eyes now, let the dark be kind and slow
Nothing here can touch you, near or far
Rest inside the hush that only love like this can grow
You are safe as any drop of dew, my Omar

[Outro]
The moon will still be watching when the morning finds the leaves
And you will wake up loved, however softly sleep still clings
