Under the Low Oak Branches
Style: Kalimba night

[Verse 1]
The canvas hood is rustling soft beneath the low oak tree
Every little sound out there is turning into song
Nothing in the dark tonight is reaching out for thee
I will keep you closer than the night is long

[Chorus]
Reagan, hush now, let the whole wide world go still
Sleep is coming gentle like a wagon rolling slow
You are held here safer than a heart could ever will
Reagan, close your eyes and let the quiet grow

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past the branches there's a wind that's turning kind
Rustling through the darkness like it's humming just for you
Every shadow settles when it's you it hopes to find
Nothing out there wants to wake you, that is true

[Pre-chorus]
The oak leans low to listen and it hums a steady tune
Warmth is folding round you like a hand around a flame
Sleep is standing at the door and calling out your name

[Chorus]
Reagan, hush now, let the whole wide world go still
Sleep is coming gentle like a wagon rolling slow
You are held here safer than a heart could ever will
Reagan, close your eyes and let the quiet grow

[Bridge]
You are the reason the dark feels this kind
Nothing can touch you while I'm standing near
Rest now and leave every worry behind
There is no better place for you than here

[Chorus]
Reagan, hush now, let the whole wide world go still
Sleep is coming gentle like a wagon rolling slow
You are held here safer than a heart could ever will
Reagan, close your eyes and let the quiet grow

[Outro]
The canvas hood has gone still beneath the old oak tree
Sleep well, Reagan, the whole dark night belongs to thee
