Oars Laid Flat
Style: Ambient wash

[Verse 1]
The oars are laid flat on the black and quiet water
Beside the painted hull that rocks so soft and slow
Nothing needs to move now, nothing needs to hurry
You are held here gently, wherever you may go

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes, the night has wrapped its arms around you
Every little worry drifts and settles far away
I will stay right here until the morning finds you

[Chorus]
Anwen, the dark is soft and full of quiet wonder
Somewhere deep and warm is where you rest your head
You are loved beyond the counting, past all measure
Anwen, close your eyes now, drift where dreams are led

[Verse 2]
The water holds no ripple, not a single whisper
Just the gentle rocking of a boat that's tied up tight
You are safe as anything that ever slept through winter
Wrapped in every softness that belongs to night

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes, the night has wrapped its arms around you
Every little worry drifts and settles far away
I will stay right here until the morning finds you

[Chorus]
Anwen, the dark is soft and full of quiet wonder
Somewhere deep and warm is where you rest your head
You are loved beyond the counting, past all measure
Anwen, close your eyes now, drift where dreams are led

[Bridge]
Nothing in this whole wide world could ever hold you tighter
Nothing but the quiet dark could ever keep you still
Rest now, little one, the stars are standing over you

[Chorus]
Anwen, the dark is soft and full of quiet wonder
Somewhere deep and warm is where you rest your head
You are loved beyond the counting, past all measure
Anwen, close your eyes now, drift where dreams are led

[Outro]
The oars are laid flat now, the water gone to stillness
Sleep on, little Anwen, you are safe, you are home
