Shadow Leaves
Style: Soft piano

[Verse 1]
Look how the leaf shadows shiver on the whitewashed wall tonight
trembling soft and slow like they are dancing just for your delight
nothing in this room would ever want to cause you harm
you are held here safely, folded into all this calm

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the hush come drifting in like tide
feel the whole wide night grow gentle, settling by your side
sleep is only love with all the noise turned down

[Chorus]
Penelope, the dark is soft and full of quiet light
nothing here will ever let you down tonight
you are dearer than the moon could ever be
Penelope, my heart, sleep peacefully

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past the window little branches sway and bend
tracing shapes of comfort that will never truly end
you have made this ordinary evening feel so warm
you have turned the smallest corner into shelter, into charm

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the hush come drifting in like tide
feel the whole wide night grow gentle, settling by your side
sleep is only love with all the noise turned down

[Chorus]
Penelope, the dark is soft and full of quiet light
nothing here will ever let you down tonight
you are dearer than the moon could ever be
Penelope, my heart, sleep peacefully

[Bridge]
Rest now, let your breathing slow and settle like the leaves
stay here in this stillness, held by everyone who loves you

[Chorus]
Penelope, the dark is soft and full of quiet light
nothing here will ever let you down tonight
you are dearer than the moon could ever be
Penelope, my heart, sleep peacefully

[Outro]
Sleep now, while the pale shadows tremble soft upon the wall
you are loved beyond the reach of anything at all
