Harbour Asleep, Boats Nodding
by Moth Static
“Ropes creaking, boats nodding off. I recorded it with the window cracked open so the cold would keep me awake long enough to finish.”

Lyrics
The harbour is asleep tonight Ropes are creaking soft and slow Every boat leans on its neighbour Rocking where the still tides go A single lamp on the long pier Paints a gold line on the black Nobody's waiting for the morning Nobody's asking you back Nod, little boats, nod along The water knows the slow old song Rest your hull against the dark Tied up safe, right where you are Gulls are tucked beneath their wings The bell buoy counts the hours Salt and tar and sleeping rain Fall on the painted flowers Nod, little boats, nod along The water knows the slow old song Rest your hull against the dark Tied up safe, right where you are If you have drifted far from shore You can still be moored in here One soft knot, one quiet breath The night will hold you near Nod, little boats, nod along The water knows the slow old song Rest your hull against the dark Tied up safe, right where you are Nod, little boats Nod along
