Steel Wheels, Soft Sleep
Style: Rocking chair waltz

[Verse 1]
Far away the steel wheels click along a track
carrying their hum through the quiet and the dark
dust drifts slow through beams of silver light
and here in my arms is exactly where you're at

[Chorus]
Delaney, my love, let the night hold you tight
close those eyes and drift with the dust and the light
nothing out there needs to reach you now
Delaney, you're safe until the morning's bright

[Verse 2]
Moonbeams wander slow across the floor tonight
settling soft on the blanket where you lie
somewhere far a whistle calls and fades
but you are held, you never have to wonder why

[Pre-chorus]
Listen how the distant clatter softens as it goes
feel how warm this little room can be
sleep is only one more breath away

[Chorus]
Delaney, my love, let the night hold you tight
close those eyes and drift with the dust and the light
nothing out there needs to reach you now
Delaney, you're safe until the morning's bright

[Bridge]
Rock gently now, the way the old wheels roll
steady as a heartbeat, soft and slow
you are held closer than any distant sound
wrapped in more than moonlight, wrapped in love you know

[Chorus]
Delaney, my love, let the night hold you tight
close those eyes and drift with the dust and the light
nothing out there needs to reach you now
Delaney, you're safe until the morning's bright

[Outro]
Somewhere the wheels keep singing soft along the track
but you are here, and you are held, and nothing calls you back
