Far Off Trains
Style: Music box

[Verse 1]
Far off a train hums low along its metal track tonight
and the dark glass windows tremble with the gentlest light
but nothing in this whole wide world can reach where you lie
wrapped up so warm beneath a soft and watching sky

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the rumble fade to nothing but a hum
every worry of the day has quietly gone still
and sleep is coming closer now, so soft and warm and slow

[Chorus]
Daniela, close your eyes, the night is holding you
the whole wide dark is gentle and it loves you through and through
Daniela, dream a while beneath the quiet stars
you are the safest, softest place in all the world of ours

[Verse 2]
The window glass may rattle when the far train rolls on by
but it only sings a lullaby to a peaceful sky
and you are wrapped in blankets, in the hush and in the calm
held here safe and steady in the curve of a loving arm

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the rumble fade to nothing but a hum
every worry of the day has quietly gone still
and sleep is coming closer now, so soft and warm and slow

[Chorus]
Daniela, close your eyes, the night is holding you
the whole wide dark is gentle and it loves you through and through
Daniela, dream a while beneath the quiet stars
you are the safest, softest place in all the world of ours

[Bridge]
Somewhere a train is fading slowly into far and gone
but here the quiet only deepens, soft as dawn
you never have to wonder if you're loved and kept and known
you are cherished in this stillness, never once alone

[Chorus]
Daniela, close your eyes, the night is holding you
the whole wide dark is gentle and it loves you through and through
Daniela, dream a while beneath the quiet stars
you are the safest, softest place in all the world of ours

[Outro]
The glass has stilled, the far off track has hushed and gone quiet
sleep now, Daniela, wrapped in calm and in the night
