Row You Gently Home
Style: Kalimba night

[Verse 1]
Wrapped in grey wool while the whole wide lake lies still and dreaming
Nothing moves tonight except this small light rowing, gleaming
You are the reason this dark water learns to hold its breath
Safe in my arms, so far from any hurt or any depth

[Chorus]
Lorenzo, hush now, let the lake grow calm and slow
Close your eyes, Lorenzo, feel the gentle way we go
Every quiet ripple sings a hush that's just for you
Sleep now, sleep now, love will carry you clean through

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past the reeds the night is folding soft as feathers
Here beneath the blanket you are warmer than all weathers
Dip the oar in silence, let it barely stir the black
Wherever dreams may take you, I will row you gently back

[Pre-chorus]
Listen how the water holds no worry, only rest
Feel how every ripple settles you against my chest
Close your eyes a little more, let the dark be kind and slow

[Chorus]
Lorenzo, hush now, let the lake grow calm and slow
Close your eyes, Lorenzo, feel the gentle way we go
Every quiet ripple sings a hush that's just for you
Sleep now, sleep now, love will carry you clean through

[Bridge]
No splash, no sound, only the oar and my slow breath beside you
Wherever this night carries us, I promise I will guide you

[Chorus]
Lorenzo, hush now, let the lake grow calm and slow
Close your eyes, Lorenzo, feel the gentle way we go
Every quiet ripple sings a hush that's just for you
Sleep now, sleep now, love will carry you clean through

[Outro]
Somewhere the oar rests still, and the water folds to glass
Sleep now, my quiet one, beneath the wool this night will pass
