Night Fog

The water moves so slow tonight

The air is cool and still

A tiny bulb of yellow light

Shines softly on the hill

The ferry glides into the fog

Leaving the shore behind

A quiet moment in the dark

To ease a tired mind

The city sounds begin to fade

Into the gentle haze

A peaceful path the water made

Through all these quiet days

The ferry glides into the fog

Leaving the shore behind

A quiet moment in the dark

To ease a tired mind

The black tide softly sways the boat

Under the quiet sky

We watch the distant lanterns float

And gently wave goodbye

Across the river deep and wide

We travel through the mist

With warm air by the engine side

And soft waves softly kissed

The engine hums a simple song

That keeps us safe and warm

It carries all our thoughts along

Away from any storm

Across the river deep and wide

We travel through the mist

With warm air by the engine side

And soft waves softly kissed

A blanket made of silent grey

Hides all the distant docks

The world is drifting far away

Beyond the wooden rocks

Soft whispers in the foggy air

A steady light ahead

There is no hurry anywhere

Just quiet peace instead

The window glass is cool and wet

With tiny drops of rain

A night we never will forget

Without a single pain

Soft whispers in the foggy air

A steady light ahead

There is no hurry anywhere

Just quiet peace instead

Standing alone upon the bow

Feeling the gentle wind

The harbor looks so quiet now

As new days will begin

A midnight breeze upon the sea

So soft against the face

A little ship for you and me

In this calm quiet place

The ripples shimmer in the night

Beneath the glowing moon

The far off dock is out of sight

We will be home so soon

A midnight breeze upon the sea

So soft against the face

A little ship for you and me

In this calm quiet place

The bright streetlights grow small and faint

As we push out from land

A picture that no one can paint

Written in river sand

Fading lanterns on the shore

Shining through the grey

We do not need to hurry more

Night takes the light away

The deck beneath our feet is warm

The water dark and deep

Resting safe from any harm

Before we go to sleep

Fading lanterns on the shore

Shining through the grey

We do not need to hurry more

Night takes the light away

Listen to the water flow

Against the wooden hull

The night moves very light and slow

The sea is quiet full

Gentle waves below our feet

Sing a lullaby

Where the mist and river meet

Underneath the sky

A cup of tea to keep us warm

Inside the wooden room

Protected from the quiet storm

And from the shadow's gloom

Gentle waves below our feet

Sing a lullaby

Where the mist and river meet

Underneath the sky

No heavy words are spoken now

Just quiet peaceful sigh

The water parts before the bow

As time is passing by

A silent crossing in the dark

From harbor unto shore

Leaving a tiny glowing spark

And nothing any more

The fog rolls in so thick and sweet

To wrap the night around

Where heaven and the river meet

Without a single sound

A silent crossing in the dark

From harbor unto shore

Leaving a tiny glowing spark

And nothing any more

The vapor rises from the stream

Like curtains in the air

Moving slowly like a dream

Without a single care

Warm mist rolling over us

A gentle summer night

In simple quietness we trust

To guide us with its light

The little bell rings once or twice

To tell us we are near

The night is peaceful calm and nice

There is no room for fear

Warm mist rolling over us

A gentle summer night

In simple quietness we trust

To guide us with its light

Across the bay a yellow spark

Is waving from the land

A beacon shining in the dark

To help us understand

The guiding shore light shows the way

Through mist and water deep

At the closing of the day

Before the world's asleep

We lean against the railing high

And watch the water turn

While starry clouds go floating by

And quiet fires burn

The guiding shore light shows the way

Through mist and water deep

At the closing of the day

Before the world's asleep

We wave our hand into the night

To those who stay behind

Until the pier is out of sight

With calm inside our mind

A quiet farewell on the dock

As we begin to float

The steady ticking of the clock

Inside our wooden boat

The mist is thick around the post

The water clear and slow

The shore becomes a friendly ghost

In evening's yellow glow

A quiet farewell on the dock

As we begin to float

The steady ticking of the clock

Inside our wooden boat

The boat glides on without a sound

Across the silky bay

No heavy troubles can be found

Upon this watery way

Floating on the gentle drift

Where quiet breezes blow

Feeling every spirit lift

In night's soft easy glow

The harbor bells ring soft and low

To wish us all goodnight

The gentle river currents flow

Towards the morning light

Floating on the gentle drift

Where quiet breezes blow

Feeling every spirit lift

In night's soft easy glow

The moon is hiding in the cloud

But leaves a silver trace

Away from every noisy crowd

In this soft quiet place

Along the silver water way

The ferry finds its home

At the ending of the day

Across the peaceful foam

The air is sweet with ocean air

And soft mist on the skin

Leaving behind each daily care

As night comes floating in

Along the silver water way

The ferry finds its home

At the ending of the day

Across the peaceful foam

A gentle ring across the deck

Signals the dock is near

A small white bird a tiny speck

Flies high and soft and clear

Soft bell ringing in the mist

Calling us to rest

By the ocean gently kissed

Where calm is always best

We step into the warm indoor

And watch the windows steam

Safe upon the ferry floor

Inside a peaceful dream

Soft bell ringing in the mist

Calling us to rest

By the ocean gently kissed

Where calm is always best

The sun has gone behind the hill

The sky turns soft and blue

The harbor water lies so still

And fresh with evening dew

The harbor rests in quiet dusk

While mist begins to rise

In the evening's gentle hush

Beneath the dark'ning skies

The ferry ropes are untied slow

We push away from land

In the cozy yellow glow

Where quiet waters stand

The harbor rests in quiet dusk

While mist begins to rise

In the evening's gentle hush

Beneath the dark'ning skies

The middle of the night has come

The boat moves smooth and free

The engines make a steady hum

Upon the misty sea

A calm midnight voyage home

Across the shadowy bay

Through the white and gentle foam

Until the break of day

We close our eyes and take a breath

And feel the gentle sway

Nothing more to worry on

As shadows fade away

A calm midnight voyage home

Across the shadowy bay

Through the white and gentle foam

Until the break of day
