Orange Lights Sliding Home
Style: Kalimba night

[Verse 1]
Streetlamps slide orange over the straps where you rest your head
every one of them leaning down to watch you instead
soft light moving, never in a hurry to leave
you are carried through the dark like something precious and never dead

[Pre-chorus]
Nobody needs to talk now, the wheels are humming low
your eyes are getting heavy though you fight to keep the glow
hold on a little longer, we are almost there, we go

[Chorus]
Carole, the night is soft and it is only carrying you home
under the amber lights you never have to be alone
Carole, sleep is coming gentle, it will take you as its own
nothing in this dark can touch you, nothing here has ever grown

[Verse 2]
Every light we pass is leaving without a single sound
warm and orange, brief and easy, spinning slowly round
you are held here safer than a secret kept from harm
this whole quiet world is turning softly, gathered close around

[Pre-chorus]
Nobody needs to talk now, the wheels are humming low
your eyes are getting heavy though you fight to keep the glow
hold on a little longer, we are almost there, we go

[Chorus]
Carole, the night is soft and it is only carrying you home
under the amber lights you never have to be alone
Carole, sleep is coming gentle, it will take you as its own
nothing in this dark can touch you, nothing here has ever grown

[Bridge]
Rest your head against the warmth that never wants to fade
you are the reason every light along this road was made

[Chorus]
Carole, the night is soft and it is only carrying you home
under the amber lights you never have to be alone
Carole, sleep is coming gentle, it will take you as its own
nothing in this dark can touch you, nothing here has ever grown

[Outro]
Let the orange lights go sliding while you drift and settle deep
you are already halfway into the gentlest kind of sleep
