The Boat Lies Still
Style: Ambient wash

[Verse 1]
Rest now, the oars are lying flat and still tonight
Nothing is rocking, nothing needs to move or run
Water outside has settled into soft and gentle light
Close your small eyes now, Duncan, dreaming has begun

[Pre-chorus]
Nobody's rowing, nobody needs to steer or roam
Quiet is holding every corner of this floating home
Drift a little further, closer into sleep you go

[Chorus]
Duncan, the night is wrapped around you soft and slow
You are the warmest thing this quiet water knows
Hush now, my Duncan, let the gentle current flow
Sleep is the shore where every little dreamer goes

[Verse 2]
Somewhere a lantern hums a low and easy golden tune
Nothing can reach you here beneath this calm and cloudy moon
Stars have been folded into blankets soft as one
You are the reason this whole boat has come undone

[Chorus]
Duncan, the night is wrapped around you soft and slow
You are the warmest thing this quiet water knows
Hush now, my Duncan, let the gentle current flow
Sleep is the shore where every little dreamer goes

[Bridge]
Nothing will wake you, nothing will make you stir
Safe in this stillness, wrapped in the dark like fur

[Chorus]
Duncan, the night is wrapped around you soft and slow
You are the warmest thing this quiet water knows
Hush now, my Duncan, let the gentle current flow
Sleep is the shore where every little dreamer goes

[Outro]
Somewhere the oars are resting, waiting for the sun
Sleep now, my Duncan, your quiet boat has won
