The Far Water
Style: Glockenspiel

[Verse 1]
Somewhere past the garden the water is falling soft and low
It carries through the dark like a hush only you can hear
You are wrapped up warm while the whole night settles slow
Nothing out there wants to come near

[Pre-chorus]
The sound rolls in from the edge of the dark
Soft as breathing, far and low
It only wants to carry you down

[Chorus]
Joanne, the night is holding you gentle and near
Close your eyes now, there is nothing to fear
Every far sound is just the world saying Ann
Sleep now, sleep now, Joanne

[Verse 2]
The garden goes quiet and folds itself into shadow
Somewhere a splash drifts and settles into still
You are the warmest thing in this whole house tonight
Safe on this side of the sill

[Bridge]
Let the far water hush what the day left behind
Nothing can reach you, nothing has the right
You are held closer than any sound in the night

[Chorus]
Joanne, the night is holding you gentle and near
Close your eyes now, there is nothing to fear
Every far sound is just the world saying Ann
Sleep now, sleep now, Joanne

[Outro]
Far off the water keeps its slow quiet song
You can rest now, you have carried nothing wrong
