Still Water, Still You
Style: Flute and pad

[Verse 1]
Somewhere a boat has stopped its drifting for the night
Oars laid down soft where the water holds them slow
Everything settles when the rowing finally stops
You are the calm that the whole wide lake will know

[Pre-chorus]
Green water folds itself around the quiet hull
Every ripple slowly loses all its will
Close your eyes now while the dark grows warm and full

[Chorus]
Louis, the night has folded soft around your bed
Nothing moves now but the breath you're breathing slow
Deep and dark and gentle is the calm that holds your head
Louis, safe as water where the still boats go

[Verse 2]
Somewhere a wooden oar leans quiet in its rest
Waiting without worry for a morning far away
You don't need to carry anything tonight
Let the hush of evening carry you instead

[Bridge]
No current pulls you, no wind asks you to stir
Only warmth around you, only sleep so near

[Chorus]
Louis, the night has folded soft around your bed
Nothing moves now but the breath you're breathing slow
Deep and dark and gentle is the calm that holds your head
Louis, safe as water where the still boats go

[Outro]
Somewhere a boat rests easy on the darkened lake
Sleep now, little Louis, safe till morning breaks
