Dark Green Water
Style: Humming choir

[Verse 1]
Dark green water is lapping soft on the old wooden hull tonight
holding this little boat so steady, so calm, so quiet and right
nothing out there can reach you now, nothing can touch this place
you are held here so gently, cradled in warm lantern light

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the water hush every sound away
feel the slow, easy rocking carry the whole tired day
the dark is only soft here, waiting to sing you to

[Chorus]
Taylor, Taylor, the water is calling you softly to rest
drifting so easy, held safe and warm on its breast
nothing will wake you, nothing will trouble your sleep
sleep now, my Taylor, you are the one I love best

[Verse 2]
The little boat sways slow beneath a sky gone deep and still
every small ripple is only the night being kind and gentle
you are the warmest thing in this whole quiet, drifting world
and I will watch over you until the morning spills

[Bridge]
Rest your small head, let the dark water carry the weight of you
there is nowhere safer than this boat, nowhere truer

[Chorus]
Taylor, Taylor, the water is calling you softly to rest
drifting so easy, held safe and warm on its breast
nothing will wake you, nothing will trouble your sleep
sleep now, my Taylor, you are the one I love best

[Outro]
The dark green water is still holding the little wooden hull
sleep now, and know you are loved beyond measure, beyond all
