Far Across the Valley
Style: Cello cradle

[Verse 1]
Far across the valley the metal wheels are turning
a quiet click of distance while the porch light keeps on burning
Nothing in the dark tonight will ever reach this bed
just settle in the pillow now and rest your sleepy head

[Pre-chorus]
Every sound out there is far and fading slow
the whole wide night is turning down its glow
and closer than a whisper, love is holding on

[Chorus]
Ben, the dark is only quiet, nothing more
Ben, I'm right beside you like I was before
Close your eyes, the night has nowhere else to be
you are held, you are warm, you are safe with me

[Verse 2]
The tracks run on for miles where the hills begin to soften
and somewhere out there trains still sing the songs they've sung so often
But nothing calls you from this warmth, this blanket, this small room
so drift along and let the dark become a gentle tune

[Chorus]
Ben, the dark is only quiet, nothing more
Ben, I'm right beside you like I was before
Close your eyes, the night has nowhere else to be
you are held, you are warm, you are safe with me

[Bridge]
Let the far off world go clicking on its way
you don't have to follow it, you only have to stay
wrapped in something steady, something built to hold

[Chorus]
Ben, the dark is only quiet, nothing more
Ben, I'm right beside you like I was before
Close your eyes, the night has nowhere else to be
you are held, you are warm, you are safe with me

[Outro]
Far across the valley the metal wheels grow quiet
and here you rest, so loved, so still, beside me
