Rest the Oar
Style: Music box

[Verse 1]
Rest the oar across the boat and let it lie so still
Water only whispers now against the wooden sill
Nothing pulls you, nothing calls you, nowhere left to row
Close your eyes and let the dark be gentle as it goes

[Chorus]
Callum, Callum, drift and settle deep
Ripples humming softly while you sleep
Callum, safe as anything can be
Held here quiet, just like a small drum, just you and me

[Verse 2]
Metal rings that held the oar are resting now like you
Every little creak has said the work it had to do
Nothing needs your hands tonight, no distance left to keep
Sink into the hull of dark and let it rock you deep

[Pre-chorus]
Hear how the water settles into hush upon the side
Feel how the whole night leans in close to keep you safe inside
Nothing in the dark tonight has any need to hide

[Chorus]
Callum, Callum, drift and settle deep
Ripples humming softly while you sleep
Callum, safe as anything can be
Held here quiet, just like a small drum, just you and me

[Bridge]
You are not adrift, you're anchored fast and warm
Nothing on this water means to bring you harm

[Chorus]
Callum, Callum, drift and settle deep
Ripples humming softly while you sleep
Callum, safe as anything can be
Held here quiet, just like a small drum, just you and me

[Outro]
Let the oar lie easy now, its journey through for tonight
Sleep will carry you as gently till the morning light
