  Verse 1

  The oar lies still against the old grey side resting now, its work done with the tide You are the reason the whole boat stays so slow held in the hush of the water below

  Chorus

  Zuri, the night is soft and the dark is kind nothing can touch you, nothing you need to mind Sleep finds you gentle as the tide finds the shore Zuri, you're loved more than the whole world's oars

  Verse 2

  Somewhere a small boat sits on water that barely moves rocked by a calm that it never has to prove You are that stillness wrapped in a blanket of grey safe while the night carries the hours away

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let the current be your guide nothing will wake you, nothing will rise or hide just this soft rocking, gentle from side to side

  Chorus

  Zuri, the night is soft and the dark is kind nothing can touch you, nothing you need to mind Sleep finds you gentle as the tide finds the shore Zuri, you're loved more than the whole world's oars

  Bridge

  No wind tonight to stir the water or the trees only the hush that carries you off with such ease You are held closer than any harbour could hold safer than stories the old wooden boats have told

  Chorus

  Zuri, the night is soft and the dark is kind nothing can touch you, nothing you need to mind Sleep finds you gentle as the tide finds the shore Zuri, you're loved more than the whole world's oars

  Outro

  The oar rests quiet against the grey and worn wood and you rest quiet too, wrapped in all that is good

  Verse 1

  Lights slip along the seat where your small head is resting Soft yellow squares are drifting across you like a blessing Nothing tonight will come to trouble you here Warm in the hush, safe from the world and its pressing

  Pre-chorus

  Close now those eyes so heavy with travelling Let the quiet road hum you to stillness Sleep is so near, just waiting to hold you

  Chorus

  Zuri, the night has folded soft around you Nothing can find you, nothing can wound you Somewhere past dreaming, morning is near Zuri, my darling, sleep, I have found you

  Verse 2

  Every square of light that passes leans down to see you Then it slides away gently, as if to free you Rest does not ask you for anything more Only to stay here, only to let it be you

  Pre-chorus

  Close now those eyes so heavy with travelling Let the quiet road hum you to stillness Sleep is so near, just waiting to hold you

  Chorus

  Zuri, the night has folded soft around you Nothing can find you, nothing can wound you Somewhere past dreaming, morning is near Zuri, my darling, sleep, I have found you

  Bridge

  Wherever this road is quietly taking us You are the reason the dark feels so gentle Rest now, and know you are carried Held by a love that will never grow distant

  Chorus

  Zuri, the night has folded soft around you Nothing can find you, nothing can wound you Somewhere past dreaming, morning is near Zuri, my darling, sleep, I have found you

  Outro

  The light still moves in its slow yellow pattern Sleep now, my love, you are already home

  Verse 1

  Raindrops are sliding slow down the window pane tonight Catching the little red glow from the fire so warm Everything outside has settled and gone quiet and still And you are held safe here, away from any storm

  Chorus

  Zuri, the night is soft and it wraps around you kind Sleep is a small boat drifting on water calm and deep Nothing can reach you here where the lamplight starts to dim Zuri, my love, close your eyes now, it is time to sleep

  Verse 2

  The glow on the glass is dancing so gently just for you Warm as a hand that rests on your back through the dark Every small sound outside is only the hush of the rain And you are the brightest, softest, most steady little spark

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, the whole wide house is breathing slow around you The kettle has gone quiet, the fire is settling low Let your small heart rest, there is nowhere else you need to go

  Chorus

  Zuri, the night is soft and it wraps around you kind Sleep is a small boat drifting on water calm and deep Nothing can reach you here where the lamplight starts to dim Zuri, my love, close your eyes now, it is time to sleep

  Bridge

  Every drop on the glass finds its own way sliding down Slow and unhurried, the way this whole night moves for you Nothing is rushing you, nothing will wake before you're ready

  Chorus

  Zuri, the night is soft and it wraps around you kind Sleep is a small boat drifting on water calm and deep Nothing can reach you here where the lamplight starts to dim Zuri, my love, close your eyes now, it is time to sleep

  Outro

  The window still holds its small warm light against the rain And you are held the very same way until morning comes again
