Ripples on the Water
Style: Fingerpicked night

[Verse 1]
The wooden boat is drifting soft across the still lagoon
Every ripple leaving slowly, spreading out so wide
You are held here safer than the quiet of the moon
Let the water rock you gently on this evening tide

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes and let the ripples carry you away
Nothing here can touch you, nothing here will ever fall
Sleep is calling softly, and it's asking you to stay

[Chorus]
Michelle, the night is holding you so close and warm
Rest now in the hush of every gentle spreading swell
Nothing in this darkness ever means to bring you harm
Sleep on, little dreamer, sleep on, Michelle

[Verse 2]
The hull moves slow and easy over waters calm and deep
Not a single sound to trouble where you're drifting now
Every wave that rolls away is guarding you to sleep
Rest your head down easy, let the stillness show you how

[Bridge]
Far off the shore is waiting, warm and low and kind
The water holds you gently, and it never wants to part

[Chorus]
Michelle, the night is holding you so close and warm
Rest now in the hush of every gentle spreading swell
Nothing in this darkness ever means to bring you harm
Sleep on, little dreamer, sleep on, Michelle

[Outro]
The little boat drifts softer now, the ripples fading thin
Sleep has come to find you, and it's tucked you safely in
