Slow Water
Style: Ambient wash

[Verse 1]
Dark water slides so slowly over smooth grey stones tonight
Every ripple learns to whisper as it travels out of sight
You are held the way the river holds its light
Soft and slow and certain, safe until the morning bright

[Chorus]
Alice, the water moves so gentle just for you
Nothing in this night will ever touch or trouble you
Alice, the dark is only resting, calm and true
Sleep now, sleep now, love is all that's pulling you through

[Verse 2]
Somewhere beneath the current, stones are turning smooth and slow
You are turning softer too, with every breath you know
There is nothing out there waiting, nothing you should fear below
Only quiet water moving where the gentle currents go

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes and feel the stillness gathering like a tide
Let the hush of night surround you, warm and open wide
Somebody is here beside you, watching, always on your side

[Chorus]
Alice, the water moves so gentle just for you
Nothing in this night will ever touch or trouble you
Alice, the dark is only resting, calm and true
Sleep now, sleep now, love is all that's pulling you through

[Bridge]
No harm can reach you where the slow deep water flows
You are loved beyond the measure that the river knows

[Chorus]
Alice, the water moves so gentle just for you
Nothing in this night will ever touch or trouble you
Alice, the dark is only resting, calm and true
Sleep now, sleep now, love is all that's pulling you through

[Outro]
The water settles now, and so do you, so still, so slow
Sleep, my love, and let the quiet river gently hold you close
