Rest Now, Little Wagon
Style: Clarinet nightlight

[Verse 1]
Oars are leaning soft against the canvas by the water
drops of rain still cling to wood like some forgotten daughter
night has pulled its blanket over harbour, boat and stone
and you are here beside me, never once alone

[Chorus]
Megan, close your eyes now, let the dark be kind
sleep is just a quiet boat with you upon my mind
Megan, I will watch the water till the morning comes
you are safe as any harbour ever was for anyone

[Verse 2]
Somewhere ropes are creaking gently where the tide is turning
you are warm and heavy here, no need for any yearning
every drop of rain outside has found its place to fall
and you have found your place right here, the safest of them all

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the water only whispers, never shouts
nothing on this quiet night could ever pull you out
of the warm and steady arms that hold you close and slow

[Chorus]
Megan, close your eyes now, let the dark be kind
sleep is just a quiet boat with you upon my mind
Megan, I will watch the water till the morning comes
you are safe as any harbour ever was for anyone

[Bridge]
Let the damp night settle round us, soft as breath
nothing here tonight resembles anything like loss
you are held the way the harbour holds a boat from harm

[Chorus]
Megan, close your eyes now, let the dark be kind
sleep is just a quiet boat with you upon my mind
Megan, I will watch the water till the morning comes
you are safe as any harbour ever was for anyone

[Outro]
Rest now, the oars are still against the canvas, dark and slow
you are the calmest water that I ever hope to know
