Little Duck, Little Light
Style: Fingerpicked night

[Verse 1]
The water runs warm while the little duck turns and dips
and the whole wide world slows down to these small soft drips
nothing out there can reach you tonight
and the tap sings low as the last light slips

[Pre-chorus]
Soap bubbles rise and settle like breath let go
the day folds up gentle, easy and slow
and something in me is reaching for you now

[Chorus]
Christopher, close your eyes, the water's still
let the duck float on while the house goes still
you are held here, safe and proper
Christopher, nothing can touch you until

[Verse 2]
Wrapped up warm now, dried and carried to bed
with the hush of the tap still soft in your head
you don't have to hold onto anything
just let the quiet settle instead

[Chorus]
Christopher, close your eyes, the water's still
let the duck float on while the house goes still
you are held here, safe and proper
Christopher, nothing can touch you until

[Bridge]
Sleep is a small boat, and you're already in it
drifting past worry before it can begin it
I'll stay right here till the morning comes to find you

[Chorus]
Christopher, close your eyes, the water's still
let the duck float on while the house goes still
you are held here, safe and proper
Christopher, nothing can touch you until

[Outro]
Somewhere the duck still turns in water gone quiet and still
and you are asleep now, warm, and wanted, and safe, and still
