  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

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

  Verse 1

  Somewhere a blanket is holding onto the day's last warmth Waiting up quiet along a dim and sleepy hall You are the reason that soft thing was ever kept close You are the one that this whole house folds itself around

  Chorus

  Taylor, the dark isn't something to fear tonight Close your eyes slowly and drift toward morning light Nothing will stir here, no reason to be afraid Taylor, you're held in the warmth that we've made

  Verse 2

  Down at the end where the shadows are gentle and long Something stays folded and ready in case you need warm You don't have to know it's there to be kept by it Sleep and let quiet things watch over you tonight

  Pre-chorus

  Breathe out the day now, let every worry go small Nothing tonight needs an answer or you at all Just let the hush come and carry you soft as it can

  Chorus

  Taylor, the dark isn't something to fear tonight Close your eyes slowly and drift toward morning light Nothing will stir here, no reason to be afraid Taylor, you're held in the warmth that we've made

  Bridge

  However far off the morning may seem to be Someone is folding the warmth to keep it near you However dark the hallway outside your door You are the warm thing that this whole house is for

  Chorus

  Taylor, the dark isn't something to fear tonight Close your eyes slowly and drift toward morning light Nothing will stir here, no reason to be afraid Taylor, you're held in the warmth that we've made

  Outro

  Somewhere that blanket keeps its small patient warmth for you Sleep now, love, the whole night is folded round you too

  Verse 1

  Down that quiet hall the light was clean and low Every tile was gleaming, waiting just for you Someone carried you so gently through that glow And the whole wide world felt certain, calm and true

  Chorus

  Taylor, Taylor, close your eyes and rest your head Nothing in this dark will ever reach you here You are held so softly, safe in this warm bed Sleep now, Taylor, know that you are always dear

  Verse 2

  Somewhere down that hallway morning starts to break But here inside this room the night is soft and slow I will stay beside you long after you wake Watching how you breathe, and loving how you glow

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, let the humming of the house grow still Every little worry drifting far away Let this gentle quiet be the way you sail

  Chorus

  Taylor, Taylor, close your eyes and rest your head Nothing in this dark will ever reach you here You are held so softly, safe in this warm bed Sleep now, Taylor, know that you are always dear

  Bridge

  No corridor, no distance, ever pulls you from my sight You are the calm at the centre of my night

  Chorus

  Taylor, Taylor, close your eyes and rest your head Nothing in this dark will ever reach you here You are held so softly, safe in this warm bed Sleep now, Taylor, know that you are always dear

  Outro

  Somewhere that light still gleams along an empty hall But you are wrapped in warmth, and safest of us all
