Still Water
Style: Gentle acoustic

[Verse 1]
The oars are laid down now and you don't need to row
Nothing on this water is asking you to hurry
I'll keep you close and warm while the current stays slow
There's nothing but soft dark and the hush that follows, Emery

[Pre-chorus]
Let your small breath fall as quiet as the lake
Let every worried thought just drift and then let go
I'm holding steady here for as long as it takes

[Chorus]
Sleep now, Emery, safe in my arms tonight
Nothing can reach you here, nothing can worry you
Close your eyes, Emery, let go of the light
There's nowhere you need to be, nothing you need to do

[Verse 2]
You don't have to steer, you don't have to try
The whole dark lake is holding its breath just for you
Rest here in the quiet, let the hours drift by
I'll watch over the still while you're sleeping right through

[Bridge]
No oar needs to lift, no ripple needs to spread
Just the warmth of my arms and the hush overhead

[Chorus]
Sleep now, Emery, safe in my arms tonight
Nothing can reach you here, nothing can worry you
Close your eyes, Emery, let go of the light
There's nowhere you need to be, nothing you need to do

[Outro]
The oars rest quiet now, laid still across the boat
So rest here quiet too, and let your small heart float
