Low Deck Lullaby
Style: Flute and pad

[Verse 1]
The water is soft as it knocks below the wood tonight
Every small wave is asking nothing but for you to rest
You are the warmest thing that this whole dark holds tight
Close your eyes now, you have always been my favourite guest

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the lapping is slower than a lullaby could be
Nothing out there in the dark can come and trouble you
Let the night carry you gently out to sea

[Chorus]
Maverick, the water knows your name and holds it low
Softly it rocks you the way that quiet rivers do
There is nowhere calmer than this here and now
Maverick, sleep, and let the dark be kind to you

[Verse 2]
Somewhere beneath us the water is turning in its sleep
Painted wood is creaking soft, a lullaby of its own
You are the reason this whole night learns to keep
Nothing in the dark can touch what you have grown

[Bridge]
Let the small waves count the hours you don't need to keep
Rest here, where the dark is only ever gentle and deep

[Chorus]
Maverick, the water knows your name and holds it low
Softly it rocks you the way that quiet rivers do
There is nowhere calmer than this here and now
Maverick, sleep, and let the dark be kind to you

[Outro]
The water still laps soft below the low wooden deck
Sleep now, you are held, and there is nothing left to check
