Owl on the Fence Post
Style: Ambient wash

[Verse 1]
Out past the window an owl keeps its quiet post
Watching the dark like a friend and not a ghost
Nothing can trouble you tucked in so deep
You are the reason the whole night stays asleep

[Pre-chorus]
Close your small hands and let the hours grow slow
Every soft shadow is just the night saying hello
Rest now, my darling, while the stars begin to glow

[Chorus]
Theodore, Theodore, sleep and adore
The hush of the dark as it wraps round the shore
I will stay near you, I won't leave before
Morning comes gentle and opens the door

[Verse 2]
Wind moves so softly it barely stirs a leaf
You are held safely, there's nothing to grieve
Somewhere an owl blinks slow on its perch
You are the treasure this whole night would search

[Chorus]
Theodore, Theodore, sleep and adore
The hush of the dark as it wraps round the shore
I will stay near you, I won't leave before
Morning comes gentle and opens the door

[Bridge]
Let the quiet carry what words cannot say
You are adored in the dark same as day
Sleep is only love wearing a softer face

[Chorus]
Theodore, Theodore, sleep and adore
The hush of the dark as it wraps round the shore
I will stay near you, I won't leave before
Morning comes gentle and opens the door

[Outro]
Somewhere that owl still watches the fence line alone
Sleep now, my darling, you are cherished, you're home
