[Verse 1] Beneath the bough where shadows dance, You laid your hand inside my own, And all the wisdom of the books Seemed less than what our hearts had known. [Chorus] Stay here awhile, Let hours drift away, For love transforms a wilderness Into a place to stay. [Verse 2] The world beyond may rise and fall, Yet in this quiet grove we find A fleeting heaven made of earth, A refuge for the restless mind. [Chorus] Stay here awhile, Let hours drift away, For love transforms a wilderness Into a place to stay. [Instrumental] [Bridge] When autumn loosens every leaf, And winter gathers at the door, I’ll keep the small and certain truth: Your hand in mine is shelter still. [Final Chorus] Stay here awhile, Let hours drift away, For love transforms a wilderness Into a place to stay. Stay here awhile, Let hours drift away, For love transforms a wilderness Into a place to stay. [Outro] Beneath the bough, beneath the bough, Your hand still warm inside my own.
