Far Away Trains
Style: Kalimba night

[Verse 1]
Somewhere a train is humming low along the iron line
Its far away rhythm rocking soft in time with mine
You are not going anywhere, you're tucked in safe tonight
Wrapped in the hush that follows when we turn off the light

[Pre-chorus]
Listen how the distance turns that clatter into song
Every mile it travels only pulls the quiet long
And nothing needs to hurry now, we've got all night to stay

[Chorus]
Aoife, the dark is only velvet pulled up to your chin
Every little sound out there is just the world tucking in
Aoife, you are held here closer than you'll ever know
Sleep now while the far off train sings soft and slow

[Verse 2]
The window holds the moonlight like a hand around a flame
Steady while the tracks click on and whisper out your name
You don't need to answer them, you don't need to wake
Just breathe here in the warmth that only sleep can make

[Chorus]
Aoife, the dark is only velvet pulled up to your chin
Every little sound out there is just the world tucking in
Aoife, you are held here closer than you'll ever know
Sleep now while the far off train sings soft and slow

[Bridge]
Wherever that train is going, it will not take this room
Wherever that train is going, love stays here with you

[Chorus]
Aoife, the dark is only velvet pulled up to your chin
Every little sound out there is just the world tucking in
Aoife, you are held here closer than you'll ever know
Sleep now while the far off train sings soft and slow

[Outro]
The tracks go quiet now, the night has settled into you
Sleep, small one, the whole wide world is holding you
