Lullabies for Lee

Verse 1

A gentle hood is swaying softly over you tonight Little green leaves come drifting down so slow They settle on the fabric, quiet as the fading light Everything is hushed and warm, the way it ought to go

Chorus

Sleep now, Lee, the dark is only kind Close your eyes, my Lee, and drift with me Nothing in this quiet night was ever left behind You are held so gently here, as safe as you can be

Verse 2

The wind moves soft around the hood and lets it settle down Leaves are falling slow like something meant to rest Nothing out there in the dark can touch this warm and quiet ground You are wrapped up safer than a bird within its nest

Pre-chorus

Every leaf that falls is just the night saying goodnight Every hush that finds you says that you are loved The dark is only softness wrapped around you, holding tight

Chorus

Sleep now, Lee, the dark is only kind Close your eyes, my Lee, and drift with me Nothing in this quiet night was ever left behind You are held so gently here, as safe as you can be

Bridge

Rest inside the hush the falling leaves have made Let the slow world rock you gently out of reach

Chorus

Sleep now, Lee, the dark is only kind Close your eyes, my Lee, and drift with me Nothing in this quiet night was ever left behind You are held so gently here, as safe as you can be

Outro

The hood is still, the last leaf settles soft upon your sleeve Sleep now, gentle Lee, there's nothing here to grieve

Verse 1

Static hums so low it sounds just like the sea And somewhere in that hush I hear you breathing next to me A small green light is glowing on the shelf tonight Watching over you so gently with its quiet light

Pre-chorus

Every sound tonight is soft and every shadow kind Nothing in this room could ever trouble your small mind So let your worries drift away and leave them all behind

Chorus

Lee, my darling, close your eyes and let the hours be Nothing in this whole wide world could ever trouble thee You are held here safely, warm beneath the blanket's key Sleep now, little Lee, as calm and easy as the sea

Verse 2

Wooden shelves are standing guard like old and steady friends Holding all the little hums that never quite fully ends You are curled up smaller than the shadows on the wall But bigger than the love that wraps around you like a shawl

Chorus

Lee, my darling, close your eyes and let the hours be Nothing in this whole wide world could ever trouble thee You are held here safely, warm beneath the blanket's key Sleep now, little Lee, as calm and easy as the sea

Bridge

Hush now, let the static hold you soft and low Rest inside the glow that only you can know

Chorus

Lee, my darling, close your eyes and let the hours be Nothing in this whole wide world could ever trouble thee You are held here safely, warm beneath the blanket's key Sleep now, little Lee, as calm and easy as the sea

Outro

That small green light will keep on glowing after you're asleep Watching over you so softly, yours to always keep

Verse 1

The bulb is turned to face the wall, so soft and low tonight and amber light spills gently down across the sheets of white the whole wide room is settling now, breathing slow with you you're wrapped in warmth and held in close, my darling Lee, so tight

Pre-chorus

Close your eyes, let every worry drift away like foam feel the quiet gather round you, soft as it has ever grown and let the dark become the place you always call your home

Chorus

Sleep now, Lee, the night is holding you so near and free drifting soft as amber light that spills across the sea nothing here can touch you, nothing here can trouble thee rest your head, my darling Lee, there's nowhere safe as here to be

Verse 2

The shadows on the ceiling move so slowly, kind and slow they never mean to frighten you, they're only passing through every little sound tonight is just the house saying goodnight and I am here beside you now, however this night may go

Bridge

Let the amber light keep watch while you are dreaming deep and I will stay right here with you, however long you sleep

Chorus

Sleep now, Lee, the night is holding you so near and free drifting soft as amber light that spills across the sea nothing here can touch you, nothing here can trouble thee rest your head, my darling Lee, there's nowhere safe as here to be

Outro

The light still leans against the wall, so gentle now, so low sleep on, my Lee, the amber glow will keep you warm till morning
