Under the Green Branches
Style: Cello cradle

[Verse 1]
Low green branches lean to keep the wind from finding you
Every shadow here has learned to move slow and kind
Somewhere past the leaves a small light hums you steady
This whole quiet world was built to ease your mind

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let your small hands loosen from the day
Close your eyes before the last star wanders home
Sleep is only love with all its noise put away

[Chorus]
Santiago, nothing here can reach you now
Warm as morning, safe as roots below the snow
You are held by every branch that bends above you
Santiago, it is only you I know

[Verse 2]
The hood above you trembles soft as breathing does
Rocking gentle where the darkened leaves have curled
Nothing out there needs an answer until morning
You can rest and let it hold the whole wide world

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let your small hands loosen from the day
Close your eyes before the last star wanders home
Sleep is only love with all its noise put away

[Chorus]
Santiago, nothing here can reach you now
Warm as morning, safe as roots below the snow
You are held by every branch that bends above you
Santiago, it is only you I know

[Bridge]
Let the wheels go quiet, let the dark stay kind
Somebody is watching over every breath you take

[Chorus]
Santiago, nothing here can reach you now
Warm as morning, safe as roots below the snow
You are held by every branch that bends above you
Santiago, it is only you I know

[Outro]
Sleep now under branches leaning low and green
You are the calm this whole night was dreaming of
