Branches on the Ceiling
Style: Rain and piano

[Verse 1]
Branches sway above you, painted soft in silver light
drawing slow and gentle patterns through the quiet night
you are wrapped in warmth where nothing sharp can reach
safe inside the hush before the dark can teach you fear

[Chorus]
Oscar, close your eyes now, let the shadows dance alone
you are held here always, you are never on your own
Oscar, drift off gently, let the rain outside sing low
nothing in this room will let the little light go

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past the window trees are bending in the breeze
but here inside the covers you can rest with perfect ease
every moving shadow is a friend and not a foe
watching while you settle into sleep so soft and slow

[Pre-chorus]
Rain is tapping softly on the glass beside your head
piano notes are falling like a blanket on the bed
hold that feeling closer as the quiet pulls you in

[Chorus]
Oscar, close your eyes now, let the shadows dance alone
you are held here always, you are never on your own
Oscar, drift off gently, let the rain outside sing low
nothing in this room will let the little light go

[Bridge]
Even when the branches seem to reach a little near
know that you are cherished, know there's nothing here to fear
sleep will carry you where all your dreams are kind and slow

[Chorus]
Oscar, close your eyes now, let the shadows dance alone
you are held here always, you are never on your own
Oscar, drift off gently, let the rain outside sing low
nothing in this room will let the little light go

[Outro]
Moonlight keeps on falling, tracing branches overhead
you are loved beyond all measure, gently sleeping in your bed
