Black Water, Soft Landing
Style: Gentle acoustic

[Verse 1]
Close your eyes now, let the black water carry your weight
Soft little ripples are humming a tune just for you
Nothing can reach you while the hull holds you safe from the strait
Sleep is a harbour and quietly you're drifting on through

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the night is a blanket that folds you in tight
Nowhere is softer than here where you rest out of sight
And you are the reason I'm watching you sail into light

[Chorus]
Mandy, the water is holding you close and so am I
Never you worry, the dark is a friend passing by
Mandy, my Mandy, I'm here till the morning draws nigh
Rest now, my dear one, beneath this quiet painted sky

[Verse 2]
Wooden boards creak just as soft as a lullaby sung low
Warmth wraps around you the way that the tide wraps the shore
You are the harbour that every small wave longs to know
Sleep is the gift I keep giving you, always for more

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the night is a blanket that folds you in tight
Nowhere is softer than here where you rest out of sight
And you are the reason I'm watching you sail into light

[Chorus]
Mandy, the water is holding you close and so am I
Never you worry, the dark is a friend passing by
Mandy, my Mandy, I'm here till the morning draws nigh
Rest now, my dear one, beneath this quiet painted sky

[Bridge]
Let every soft ripple carry you far from the day
Nothing will wake you, I'll keep all the worry away

[Chorus]
Mandy, the water is holding you close and so am I
Never you worry, the dark is a friend passing by
Mandy, my Mandy, I'm here till the morning draws nigh
Rest now, my dear one, beneath this quiet painted sky

[Outro]
Black water still laps at the side of our little boat
Sleep on, my Mandy, forever I'll help you float
