Rest Against the Water
Style: Music box

[Verse 1]
Somebody has brought the little boat in for the night
Laid the oars down soft against the boards so they rest tight
Ripples touch the timber slow and then let go
You are held the same way, gentle, warm and low

[Pre-chorus]
Every sound out on the water has grown hushed and slow
Even the current by the harbour walks on tiptoe now
So close your eyes and drift where the quiet wants to go

[Chorus]
Sleep now, sleep now, Catalina, safe and warm
Nothing here can find you, nothing brings you harm
Catalina, you are held the whole night through
Every gentle thing that's near tonight belongs to you

[Verse 2]
Somewhere green planks hold the damp of a day that's finally done
You don't need to know the distance that the little boat has run
All that matters is you're here now, wrapped and warm and still
Sleep will come to carry you exactly where it will

[Chorus]
Sleep now, sleep now, Catalina, safe and warm
Nothing here can find you, nothing brings you harm
Catalina, you are held the whole night through
Every gentle thing that's near tonight belongs to you

[Bridge]
Let the water settle, let the last light fall away
You were loved before this evening, you'll be loved another day

[Chorus]
Sleep now, sleep now, Catalina, safe and warm
Nothing here can find you, nothing brings you harm
Catalina, you are held the whole night through
Every gentle thing that's near tonight belongs to you

[Outro]
Rest now like the oars against the damp green wood
Still and safe and certain, held the way you should
