Knock Softly, Amara
Style: Folk cradle song

[Verse 1]
The little boat is knocking gentle at the pier tonight
Its wooden hull is rocking slow beneath the fading light
Every knock is saying hush now, close your eyes and rest
You are the one the whole dark harbour loves the best

[Pre-chorus]
The water settles quiet and the wind has gone to sleep
Nothing in this whole wide night is yours to keep
Only this soft rocking, only this and only you

[Chorus]
Amara, sleep is coming warm and slow tonight
Nothing in the dark can touch you, hold on tight
You are safe as any harbour, safe as any shore
Amara, you are loved, and always more

[Verse 2]
Somewhere down below the pier the tide is breathing deep
Rocking every little boat it's watching over as they sleep
You don't need to know the way the water finds its rest
Just know that you are held, and know that you are blessed

[Chorus]
Amara, sleep is coming warm and slow tonight
Nothing in the dark can touch you, hold on tight
You are safe as any harbour, safe as any shore
Amara, you are loved, and always more

[Bridge]
Knock softly, little hull, against the sleeping pier
Nothing in this quiet dark has any cause for fear
You are held by hands that never mean to let you go

[Chorus]
Amara, sleep is coming warm and slow tonight
Nothing in the dark can touch you, hold on tight
You are safe as any harbour, safe as any shore
Amara, you are loved, and always more

[Outro]
The little boat is resting now against the quiet pier
Sleep on, Amara, there is nothing left to fear
