Still Water, Amira
Style: Glockenspiel

[Verse 1]
Let the oars rest easy, their work for today is done
Rock here beside me, my quietest, dearest one
Every ripple that reaches you is soft and slow
This is the calm little harbour where you always go

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, the water has grown so still
Nothing will wake you, nothing ever will
Just this gentle drifting, closer than a hill

[Chorus]
Amira, sleep is calling soft and low
Wrapped in warmth the whole night through
Nobody holds you nearer than I do
There is no harbour dearer than you, Amira, too

[Verse 2]
You are the reason the ripples learn to hush
Held in a stillness no wind could ever rush
Every wooden rib holds warmth against the chill
And you are the reason this small boat stays still

[Chorus]
Amira, sleep is calling soft and low
Wrapped in warmth the whole night through
Nobody holds you nearer than I do
There is no harbour dearer than you, Amira, too

[Bridge]
Drift now, drift further, past the edges of the day
Nothing can follow you, nothing will stay
You are the calmest water I have ever known

[Chorus]
Amira, sleep is calling soft and low
Wrapped in warmth the whole night through
Nobody holds you nearer than I do
There is no harbour dearer than you, Amira, too

[Outro]
Rest now, the oars are still against the wooden hull
Sleep now, my dearest, the night is warm and full
