  Verse 1

  The oars have stopped their turning beneath a low wooden bench Dark reeds are holding still, no reason left to flinch Every ripple settles soft the way that quiet can And you are held so gently here, safer than a wish

  Chorus

  Carter, Carter, close your eyes and let the water carry you There is nothing in the dark tonight that you must barter through Every star above has slowed its spinning just for you Carter, rest, and let the night be smarter than you knew

  Verse 2

  The little boat won't drift too far, it knows the way back home Underneath the wooden bench the shadows learn to roam Nothing here will wake you now, no reason to be wary You are wrapped in something warmer than the reeds have ever known

  Pre-chorus

  Somewhere past the bending reeds the current starts to slow The lantern on the water dims to just a gentle glow And all the night is leaning in to tell you what I know

  Chorus

  Carter, Carter, close your eyes and let the water carry you There is nothing in the dark tonight that you must barter through Every star above has slowed its spinning just for you Carter, rest, and let the night be smarter than you knew

  Bridge

  No need to reach the shore just yet, no clock to answer to Just float a while inside the hush that's holding on to you

  Chorus

  Carter, Carter, close your eyes and let the water carry you There is nothing in the dark tonight that you must barter through Every star above has slowed its spinning just for you Carter, rest, and let the night be smarter than you knew

  Outro

  The oars are resting quiet now beneath the wooden bench And you are drifting safe to sleep, held close and gently kept

  Verse 1

  Yellow light spills soft beneath the painted door tonight Falling on the worn wool carpet, warm and quiet like a light You are wrapped in blankets, breathing slow and deep Carter, love is standing guard while you're asleep

  Pre-chorus

  The house is settling, every creak has gone to rest Somewhere down the hallway there's a lamp still softly dressed And nothing in the shadows means you any harm tonight

  Chorus

  Carter, close your eyes now, let the dark be kind There's a golden thread of light that you will always find Carter, you are held here, safe as safe can be Sleep now, little starter, someone's watching over thee

  Verse 2

  Somewhere past the window all the stars are keeping still Waiting with the moonlight on the windowsill You don't need to wonder if the morning comes too slow Carter, you are cradled in the gentlest glow

  Pre-chorus

  The house is settling, every creak has gone to rest Somewhere down the hallway there's a lamp still softly dressed And nothing in the shadows means you any harm tonight

  Chorus

  Carter, close your eyes now, let the dark be kind There's a golden thread of light that you will always find Carter, you are held here, safe as safe can be Sleep now, little starter, someone's watching over thee

  Bridge

  Hush now, nothing here will ever let you fall Every gentle hour is wrapped around you, that is all

  Chorus

  Carter, close your eyes now, let the dark be kind There's a golden thread of light that you will always find Carter, you are held here, safe as safe can be Sleep now, little starter, someone's watching over thee

  Outro

  The light beneath the door will still be there when you wake Carter, you are loved with every breath that we take

  Verse 1

  Leaf shadows move so slowly across the canvas hood tonight Heavy branches sway above you, easing into rest Every gentle shifting shape is dimming out of sight The whole wide world is quiet now, and you are truly blessed

  Chorus

  Carter, close your eyes now, let the dark be warm and kind Somebody is watching over every breath you take Carter, you are held so close, you're never left behind Sleep now in the stillness that the quiet hours make

  Verse 2

  The branches hush their whispers as the evening settles low Nothing in this moment asks a single thing of you Wrapped up safe and steady while the gentle breezes blow Rest inside the calm that only nighttime ever knew

  Pre-chorus

  Let the swaying shadows carry all your worries far away Nothing here can touch you while the darkness holds you tight Feel how safe and certain you are made to feel tonight

  Chorus

  Carter, close your eyes now, let the dark be warm and kind Somebody is watching over every breath you take Carter, you are held so close, you're never left behind Sleep now in the stillness that the quiet hours make

  Bridge

  You are loved beyond the reach of any counted hour Softly as the branches settle, so may you settle too

  Chorus

  Carter, close your eyes now, let the dark be warm and kind Somebody is watching over every breath you take Carter, you are held so close, you're never left behind Sleep now in the stillness that the quiet hours make

  Outro

  The leaf shadows still are moving, slow and soft above your head Sleep now, gentle Carter, sleep now in your bed
