Heavy Leaves Style: Cello cradle [Verse 1] Heavy leaves are dripping soft onto the damp and waiting earth One small moth is drifting near the old brick wall tonight Everything is slowing down to find the quiet that it's worth Close your eyes and let the dark come wrap you soft and light [Pre-chorus] Somewhere out beyond the window all the noisy hours are done Nothing needs you now but resting, nothing left to chase or run So let the hush come find you gently, easy as it's begun [Chorus] Sally, sleep is calling soft and low along the quiet valley You are held by every shadow, every corner, every alley Nothing in this whole wide night could ever hurt you, ever rally Rest here safe and sound, my Sally, dream your slow and gentle Sally [Verse 2] Somewhere far the rain keeps falling gentle onto darkened ground Every drop a tiny promise that the world is turning round You are curled up warm and steady while the night wraps all around Nothing but the soft and easy hush of breathing, safe and sound [Pre-chorus] Somewhere out beyond the window all the noisy hours are done Nothing needs you now but resting, nothing left to chase or run So let the hush come find you gently, easy as it's begun [Chorus] Sally, sleep is calling soft and low along the quiet valley You are held by every shadow, every corner, every alley Nothing in this whole wide night could ever hurt you, ever rally Rest here safe and sound, my Sally, dream your slow and gentle Sally [Bridge] Every little breath you take is watched with love that never tallies Sleep is just another way of knowing you are cherished always [Chorus] Sally, sleep is calling soft and low along the quiet valley You are held by every shadow, every corner, every alley Nothing in this whole wide night could ever hurt you, ever rally Rest here safe and sound, my Sally, dream your slow and gentle Sally [Outro] The leaves will still be dripping soft when morning comes to find you Sleep now, Sally, safe and certain, love is standing close behind you Free from Songbird: lovesongbirds.com
