Heavy with Sleep
Style: Vibraphone drift

[Verse 1]
Somewhere a branch is bending low beneath the weight of night
dark green leaves are swaying slow, so easy and so slight
one small drop of dew is holding tight before it falls
and you are held here just as close, and just as right

[Pre-chorus]
Everything is settling now, the dark is soft and kind
hush is falling gentle as the quiet fills the room
closer now, and closer still, to where the dreams begin

[Chorus]
Yusuf, the night is folding warm around you
nothing can reach you, nothing means you harm
hold onto sleep the way the leaf holds dew
Yusuf, you're safe here, resting in my arm

[Verse 2]
The branch will bend and never break beneath so light a thing
stillness moves so slowly that you barely feel it start
sleep is gathering soft and low, the way the dew will cling
and you are carried gently now, so near my heart

[Chorus]
Yusuf, the night is folding warm around you
nothing can reach you, nothing means you harm
hold onto sleep the way the leaf holds dew
Yusuf, you're safe here, resting in my arm

[Bridge]
Rest now, let the whole dark hush and slow
there is nowhere you need to be but here

[Chorus]
Yusuf, the night is folding warm around you
nothing can reach you, nothing means you harm
hold onto sleep the way the leaf holds dew
Yusuf, you're safe here, resting in my arm

[Outro]
Somewhere that branch is still and full and low
sleep now, and let the quiet hold you close
