Under the Old Oak Shade
Style: Humming choir

[Verse 1]
The oak leaves sway so gently above where you are lying
Every shadow that moves is only softness passing through
Nothing out there in the dark can touch what you are keeping
This whole wide night has folded down to shelter you

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the branches breathe their slow and quiet tune
Close your eyes and feel how safe this small world can be
Sleep is coming gentle now, is coming soon

[Chorus]
Sloane, you are the warmest thing this night has ever known
Every shifting shadow bends to keep you safe alone
Rest here where the old oak leans and murmurs soft and low
Sloane, my quiet treasure, it is time to let this go

[Verse 2]
The light comes through in pieces, soft and scattered on the canvas
Nothing hurries, nothing calls, the evening holds its breath
Somewhere far away the world keeps turning without you
But here you rest, and rest is all the world it needs

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the branches breathe their slow and quiet tune
Close your eyes and feel how safe this small world can be
Sleep is coming gentle now, is coming soon

[Chorus]
Sloane, you are the warmest thing this night has ever known
Every shifting shadow bends to keep you safe alone
Rest here where the old oak leans and murmurs soft and low
Sloane, my quiet treasure, it is time to let this go

[Bridge]
No harm can find you underneath these old and steady arms
You are held by more than branches, more than shade and stone

[Chorus]
Sloane, you are the warmest thing this night has ever known
Every shifting shadow bends to keep you safe alone
Rest here where the old oak leans and murmurs soft and low
Sloane, my quiet treasure, it is time to let this go

[Outro]
The shadows slow their dance now, settling soft upon the ground
Sleep well beneath the oak tree, safe and sound
