Still Water
Style: Ambient wash

[Verse 1]
The oars are lying quiet on the water tonight
No ripple left to wander, no current left to roam
Under the willow the whole wide world grows still
And this small boat is carrying you safely home

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes and let the dark be gentle now
Every star above is watching over you
Breathe out slow, there's nowhere left to go but

[Chorus]
Elsi, the night is holding you so tender
Nothing here will ever let you fall
Elsi, you are loved beyond all measure
Sleep is soft and you are safe through it all

[Verse 2]
The branch of the willow trails along the water's edge
And nothing in the dark tonight can do you harm
You are the warmest light on this quiet river
Wrapped up and drifting, held inside the calm

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes and let the dark be gentle now
Every star above is watching over you
Breathe out slow, there's nowhere left to go but

[Chorus]
Elsi, the night is holding you so tender
Nothing here will ever let you fall
Elsi, you are loved beyond all measure
Sleep is soft and you are safe through it all

[Bridge]
No need to row, no need to steer or wander
Just rest here while the water holds you still

[Chorus]
Elsi, the night is holding you so tender
Nothing here will ever let you fall
Elsi, you are loved beyond all measure
Sleep is soft and you are safe through it all

[Outro]
The oars lie still, the willow leans in closer
Sleep now, love, the water carries you
