Far Across the Field
Style: Rocking chair waltz

[Verse 1]
Somewhere a train is rolling slow through the dark and the green
Its wheels are humming soft on tracks that nobody can see
Nothing that far away could ever trouble your rest
You are the calmest thing in this whole quiet scene

[Chorus]
Christine, the night has folded gently down around you
Every small sound out there is only passing through
Christine, you never have to carry what is far off
Sleep is the only place I want to lead you to

[Verse 2]
The wheels keep clicking on, steady as a heartbeat should be
Carrying nothing that will ever come and find you here
Let the sound go by like water going under a bridge
Nothing about tonight was ever meant to be unclear

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, there is nothing moving closer than my arms
The dark outside is empty, and the field is calm and wide
So let the far off engine sing you gently to my side

[Chorus]
Christine, the night has folded gently down around you
Every small sound out there is only passing through
Christine, you never have to carry what is far off
Sleep is the only place I want to lead you to

[Bridge]
Let the whole loud world go rolling on without you
There is nothing out there worth the leaving of this bed

[Chorus]
Christine, the night has folded gently down around you
Every small sound out there is only passing through
Christine, you never have to carry what is far off
Sleep is the only place I want to lead you to

[Outro]
Far off now the wheels are fading into the green
Sleep, my Christine, the whole soft field is dreaming too
