  Verse 1

  The oars are lying flat and quiet now across the little boat Every ripple settles down to let the small waves float The water holds its breath and waits beneath the fading light Ready now to carry you so gently through the night

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing needs to move again, the paddling day is done Close your eyes and drift with me before the dark has won The river only wants to hum you slowly into sleep

  Chorus

  Finn, my dear one, let the current take you in Soft as starlight settling on your chin Kin of mine, so treasured, safe within Rest now, little Finn, and let the night begin

  Verse 2

  No need to reach or row, the shore is closer than it seems Let your small hands loosen as you slip inside your dreams I will hold the quiet steady while you settle in to rest There is nowhere calmer, nowhere warmer, than this nest

  Chorus

  Finn, my dear one, let the current take you in Soft as starlight settling on your chin Kin of mine, so treasured, safe within Rest now, little Finn, and let the night begin

  Bridge

  Somewhere far the water keeps its slow and steady spin Carrying you gently like it always carried kin

  Chorus

  Finn, my dear one, let the current take you in Soft as starlight settling on your chin Kin of mine, so treasured, safe within Rest now, little Finn, and let the night begin

  Outro

  The oars lie still, the little boat has finally come to rest Sleep now, dear one, held and warm upon my chest

  Verse 1

  The window holds the night the way I hold you now one small drop is sliding down so easy and so slow there is nothing out there waiting that could ever touch you here and the dark outside is softer than you think you know

  Pre-chorus

  Every little sound out there is turning into hush the glass is cool but you are warm beneath my arm and the whole wide night is leaning in to listen

  Chorus

  Finn, the rain is only saying goodnight to the glass close your eyes, my love, and let the evening spin nothing needs your eyes tonight, not one thing, not at all so rest here easy, Finn, and drift on in

  Verse 2

  Watch how one small drop just settles into another they don't hurry, they just find the softest way to fall you can let your breathing follow theirs if you should want to there is no clock in this room keeping time at all

  Pre-chorus

  Every little sound out there is turning into hush the glass is cool but you are warm beneath my arm and the whole wide night is leaning in to listen

  Chorus

  Finn, the rain is only saying goodnight to the glass close your eyes, my love, and let the evening spin nothing needs your eyes tonight, not one thing, not at all so rest here easy, Finn, and drift on in

  Bridge

  You are the warmest thing this whole house holds tonight safer than any latch or lock upon the door

  Chorus

  Finn, the rain is only saying goodnight to the glass close your eyes, my love, and let the evening spin nothing needs your eyes tonight, not one thing, not at all so rest here easy, Finn, and drift on in

  Outro

  Somewhere on the pane the last small drop has stilled and settled sleep now, quiet Finn, and let the glass hold still with you

  Verse 1

  White linen brushes the brass so slow and so quiet tonight Curtains breathe out while the stars are just catching their light Somewhere the dark folds around us like a blanket pulled thin You are the calm that the whole house is holding within

  Pre-chorus

  Close now your eyes as the window sighs soft on its rail Let the last light on the sill grow small and grow pale Sleep is a boat and I'm tucking you safe for the sail

  Chorus

  Finn, my sweet Finn, let the night pull you gently in Nothing can touch you while I'm humming this hymn Rest now the day and however it's been You're the warmest thing this house has ever held, Finn

  Verse 2

  Down in the hall the old clock keeps its slow, even beat Somewhere a breeze finds the cloth and it stirs at your feet Hush now, there's nothing that's coming to trouble your chin You're held by a love that has no edge and no end

  Bridge

  Let the linen keep swaying, let the brass rail stay still Sleep is not far now, just over the hill

  Chorus

  Finn, my sweet Finn, let the night pull you gently in Nothing can touch you while I'm humming this hymn Rest now the day and however it's been You're the warmest thing this house has ever held, Finn

  Outro

  Let the white cloth settle soft against the brass once more You are safe now, you are home, you are held to the core
