Little Duck, Sleep Now
Style: Flute and pad

[Verse 1]
Little ducks are floating slow in water warm and bright
Underneath the dripping tap they drift into the night
All the bubbles settle down as soft as they can be
Just like you will settle now, so safe and warm with me

[Pre-chorus]
The water's still, the light is low, the day has learned to rest
Every little sound grows soft, the whole room holds its breath
Close your eyes, my dear one, let the quiet tell its story

[Chorus]
Lori, Lori, hush now, drift to sleep
Nothing in this whole wide world is yours to keep from sleep
You are held, you are warm, you are safe here with me
Lori, you're the calm I've waited for me

[Verse 2]
Somewhere small a plastic duck goes bobbing round and round
Gentle as the hush that falls when every light goes down
You don't need to hold on tight, there's nothing you should chase
Just float here in the warmth of this small quiet place

[Bridge]
Every ripple fades to nothing, every wave lies down
The whole night leans in closer just to keep you safe and sound

[Chorus]
Lori, Lori, hush now, drift to sleep
Nothing in this whole wide world is yours to keep from sleep
You are held, you are warm, you are safe here with me
Lori, you're the calm I've waited for me

[Outro]
The little ducks float still now on the water, calm and slow
Sleep now, Lori, sleep, and know I'll never let you go
