Oars Lying Still
Style: Gentle acoustic

[Verse 1]
The oars are lying flat and quiet now across the little boat
Every ripple settles down to let the small waves float
The water holds its breath and waits beneath the fading light
Ready now to carry you so gently through the night

[Pre-chorus]
Nothing needs to move again, the paddling day is done
Close your eyes and drift with me before the dark has won
The river only wants to hum you slowly into sleep

[Chorus]
Finn, my dear one, let the current take you in
Soft as starlight settling on your chin
Kin of mine, so treasured, safe within
Rest now, little Finn, and let the night begin

[Verse 2]
No need to reach or row, the shore is closer than it seems
Let your small hands loosen as you slip inside your dreams
I will hold the quiet steady while you settle in to rest
There is nowhere calmer, nowhere warmer, than this nest

[Chorus]
Finn, my dear one, let the current take you in
Soft as starlight settling on your chin
Kin of mine, so treasured, safe within
Rest now, little Finn, and let the night begin

[Bridge]
Somewhere far the water keeps its slow and steady spin
Carrying you gently like it always carried kin

[Chorus]
Finn, my dear one, let the current take you in
Soft as starlight settling on your chin
Kin of mine, so treasured, safe within
Rest now, little Finn, and let the night begin

[Outro]
The oars lie still, the little boat has finally come to rest
Sleep now, dear one, held and warm upon my chest
