Rope and Raft
Style: Flute and pad

[Verse 1]
Somewhere a rope leans soft against old painted wood
holding a raft that rocks so slow, so good
you are that raft and I'm the rope tonight
tied to you gently till the morning light

[Chorus]
Talia, hush now, let the dark be kind
close your small hand and leave the day behind
nothing will pull you loose from where you lay
Talia, I'm holding you till light finds day

[Verse 2]
Water below you moves but never far
under a sleepy, half closed silver star
every small creak is just the rope's soft song
singing you safely all the whole night long

[Pre-chorus]
Your breathing slows to match the tide's own beat
warmth wraps around you like a woollen sheet
and something steady keeps you close and near

[Chorus]
Talia, hush now, let the dark be kind
close your small hand and leave the day behind
nothing will pull you loose from where you lay
Talia, I'm holding you till light finds day

[Bridge]
Let the knot hold, let the current pass
nothing can shake you loose from where you rest at last

[Chorus]
Talia, hush now, let the dark be kind
close your small hand and leave the day behind
nothing will pull you loose from where you lay
Talia, I'm holding you till light finds day

[Outro]
Somewhere that rope still leans on painted wood
holding you steady, just like it always could
