Black Water, Soft Light
Style: Rain and piano

[Verse 1]
The black water laps soft against the painted pine planks tonight
An oil lamp glows low and gold above the gentle tide
You are wrapped up warm where nothing in the dark can plague you
Close your eyes now, let the slow and rocking world subside

[Chorus]
Montague, the night is holding you so tenderly and true
Every wave that laps the pine is singing soft for you
Montague, there's nothing here that ever needs to argue
Sleep is coming gentle now, and it was made for you

[Verse 2]
The lamp light barely flickers on the water's calm dark skin
Somewhere far a quiet tide keeps turning out and in
You are safe beneath the warmth that no cold night could plague you
Rest here where the little world is soft and settling in

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the lapping water carry you away
Nothing vague or far can reach you where you gently lay
Close your eyes, my love, and drift where soft light leads you

[Chorus]
Montague, the night is holding you so tenderly and true
Every wave that laps the pine is singing soft for you
Montague, there's nothing here that ever needs to argue
Sleep is coming gentle now, and it was made for you

[Bridge]
Even far off Prague could not dream you softer than this light
No sound but water breathing slow against the pine tonight
You are held so close and quiet nothing here could ever fade you

[Chorus]
Montague, the night is holding you so tenderly and true
Every wave that laps the pine is singing soft for you
Montague, there's nothing here that ever needs to argue
Sleep is coming gentle now, and it was made for you

[Outro]
The black water laps so softly now the lamp has dimmed to gold
You are held here safe and sleeping, warm against the fading cold
