Rest Now, Little Oar
Style: Celesta and strings

[Verse 1]
Somewhere the water has gone smooth and still tonight
Nothing is asking to be carried anymore
Your small hands can finally let go of the light
This is the calm that we were rowing toward

[Pre-chorus]
Lean your head where all the warmth is keeping
Let the hush come find you where you lie
There's nothing left to do tonight but

[Chorus]
Colin, the oars are resting now against the side
Colin, the boat is yours and it will hold
Nothing will wake you, nothing will need untying
Sleep is the shore that's always safe to hold

[Verse 2]
Every splash and current has gone quiet in the dark
All the going somewhere has softened into rest
You don't have to steer through anything tonight
Just drift the way the calmest water does best

[Pre-chorus]
Lean your head where all the warmth is keeping
Let the hush come find you where you lie
There's nothing left to do tonight but

[Chorus]
Colin, the oars are resting now against the side
Colin, the boat is yours and it will hold
Nothing will wake you, nothing will need untying
Sleep is the shore that's always safe to hold

[Bridge]
Whatever you carried today can rest against the hull
Nobody needs rowing till the morning comes to call

[Chorus]
Colin, the oars are resting now against the side
Colin, the boat is yours and it will hold
Nothing will wake you, nothing will need untying
Sleep is the shore that's always safe to hold

[Outro]
Somewhere the oars are leaning, quiet, against the side
Sleep now, Colin, still and safe till morning's light
