Leaves on the Wall
Style: Rain and piano

[Verse 1]
Look how the leafy shadows drift across the plaster white
They tremble slow above the wardrobe standing dark and still
Nothing in this small room means to give you any fright
Every shape that moves tonight is moving with goodwill

[Pre-chorus]
The rain is tapping soft along the window like a friend
Your breathing finds the rhythm and it slows to meet the beat
So close your eyes now, Stacey, let the evening bend

[Chorus]
Stacey, Stacey, the dark is only lace
Woven soft with shadows moving slow and spacey
Every corner of this room has kept its gentle place
Rest here safely, quietly, only Stacey

[Verse 2]
The wardrobe in the corner holds its shape and holds its peace
It never minds the branches waving shadows on its door
You are held here warmer than a blanket's soft increase
Sleep is only walking distance from the floor

[Bridge]
Let the piano hum you low and let the rain keep time
Nothing far away tonight can find its way to you

[Chorus]
Stacey, Stacey, the dark is only lace
Woven soft with shadows moving slow and spacey
Every corner of this room has kept its gentle place
Rest here safely, quietly, only Stacey

[Outro]
The leaves keep swaying gently though the wind has gone to rest
Sleep now, Stacey, held here, safest and the best
