Soft as the Owl's Call
Style: Accordion cradle

[Verse 1]
Out in the yard the frost is sleeping on the sill tonight
An owl is calling softly to the moon up in the trees
Nothing stirs but that low, warm hoot beyond the windowpane
And here inside it's only you, all wrapped in gentle ease

[Chorus]
Sian, Sian, the night is holding you so near
Close your eyes and let the hooting drift you far away
Sian, I'll be here when morning comes to find you
Nothing in this world can touch you while you stay

[Verse 2]
The frost is painting patterns on the glass so quiet and slow
While the owl keeps watching over you from branches high and bare
Every breath you take is safer than the deepest snow
And you are loved much more than any words could ever share

[Pre-chorus]
Listen how the dark holds still to let you drift and dream
The owl has hushed its call to just a whisper in the cold
And nothing in this whole wide night could touch or steal you

[Chorus]
Sian, Sian, the night is holding you so near
Close your eyes and let the hooting drift you far away
Sian, I'll be here when morning comes to find you
Nothing in this world can touch you while you stay

[Bridge]
Rest now, little one, the frost will melt before you wake
No need to fear the shadows or the cold outside the pane
You are held here safer than the owl upon its branch

[Chorus]
Sian, Sian, the night is holding you so near
Close your eyes and let the hooting drift you far away
Sian, I'll be here when morning comes to find you
Nothing in this world can touch you while you stay

[Outro]
The owl has gone quiet now, the frost begins to still
Sleep on, Sian, you are safe here on this windowsill
