Grey Feather, Soft Branch
Style: Humming choir

[Verse 1]
Somewhere a grey feather settles on a low, damp branch tonight
the pine needles hush themselves quiet to let it rest right
nothing out there stirs or worries once the light has gone
you are held just as gently, tucked away out of sight

[Chorus]
Talia, the dark is only a blanket pulled soft round the trees
close your eyes now, Talia, and drift on this slow, easy breeze
nothing can reach you here, nothing will trouble your rest
sleep finds you the way that morning always finds the leaves

[Verse 2]
Out in the wet woods a small wing folds and goes still
the whole forest breathes slower, settling under the hill
no need to listen for footsteps, no need to keep watch
you can let go of the day now, however it went

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the branches hold their small, quiet weight
feel how the night wraps round without a single sound
and carries you gently toward whatever comes next

[Chorus]
Talia, the dark is only a blanket pulled soft round the trees
close your eyes now, Talia, and drift on this slow, easy breeze
nothing can reach you here, nothing will trouble your rest
sleep finds you the way that morning always finds the leaves

[Bridge]
Rest easy, the whole wide night is holding its breath for you
every shadow has gone soft, every worry has slipped from view

[Chorus]
Talia, the dark is only a blanket pulled soft round the trees
close your eyes now, Talia, and drift on this slow, easy breeze
nothing can reach you here, nothing will trouble your rest
sleep finds you the way that morning always finds the leaves

[Outro]
Somewhere that feather still rests on its low, quiet branch
and you rest just as safely, held here until the light comes back
