Engine Cooling
Style: Flute and pad

[Verse 1]
Orange lamps go blinking soft along the glass beside you
Nothing in this whole wide world will ever come to find you
Engine ticking quiet now, its work for tonight is done
You are held here safer than the setting of the sun

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes, the road can rest, the wheels have turned enough
Every mile that carried you was carrying you home
Let the hush wrap round you now, so warm and never rough

[Chorus]
Barbara, sleep, the lamps are low and steady
Nothing tonight will ever come unready
You are the warmth that this whole house is keeping
Barbara, hush now, drift on into sleeping

[Verse 2]
Shadows move so slowly where the streetlight starts to fade
Nothing out there frightens you, you're not the least afraid
Windows fog a little with the warmth of breathing slow
There is nowhere in this world you'd rather be than home

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes, the road can rest, the wheels have turned enough
Every mile that carried you was carrying you home
Let the hush wrap round you now, so warm and never rough

[Chorus]
Barbara, sleep, the lamps are low and steady
Nothing tonight will ever come unready
You are the warmth that this whole house is keeping
Barbara, hush now, drift on into sleeping

[Bridge]
Rest now, the engine's still, the journey's turned to quiet
Whatever waits tomorrow can wait outside tonight

[Chorus]
Barbara, sleep, the lamps are low and steady
Nothing tonight will ever come unready
You are the warmth that this whole house is keeping
Barbara, hush now, drift on into sleeping

[Outro]
The lamps outside will keep their watch till morning comes up slow
Sleep now, you are already exactly where you should go
