The Oar Rests Still
Style: Humming choir

[Verse 1]
The lake has gone quiet and the oar has stopped moving now
Nothing needs rowing when the whole night is on your side
Every ripple has settled and folded itself away slowly
You can rest here so easy with the water and the tide

[Pre-chorus]
No further to travel, no further to drift tonight
The dark is holding steady the way still water can
So close your eyes gently and let go of the light

[Chorus]
Kylie, the lake has carried you safely home again
Sleep is the harbour and you are welcome in
Nothing will wake you, not thunder and not rain
Kylie, you are held here, you are always kept within

[Verse 2]
Somewhere a small boat is tied and it will not stray far
The rope is soft but it holds you the way that quiet can
Nothing is asking you to open your eyes or wonder where you are
Only the hush of water against the side of your hand

[Bridge]
Rest your small weight the way the oar rests on the lake
Not sinking, not striving, just held and still and slow

[Chorus]
Kylie, the lake has carried you safely home again
Sleep is the harbour and you are welcome in
Nothing will wake you, not thunder and not rain
Kylie, you are held here, you are always kept within

[Outro]
The oar lies quiet now where the dark water is deep
Rest now the same way, easy and safe in your sleep
