Wheels in the Valley
Style: Accordion cradle

[Verse 1]
Somewhere a train winds slow through the valley tonight
Its wheels click soft like a hand on a drum
You are held here, tucked in where the lantern burns light
And nothing can reach you till morning has come

[Chorus]
Delilah, the dark is a blanket, not a wall
Sleep now, my own one, there's nothing to fear
Delilah, the whole world is holding you small
I am right beside you, so close and so near

[Verse 2]
The tracks hum a tune that the hills learned by heart
Every click carries you further from harm
You're the warmest thing here, you're the best kind of art
And you rest in the curve of a well loving arm

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the iron rhythm carry you slow
Every breath that you take is a wave rolling in
So close your eyes, love, and let the night go

[Chorus]
Delilah, the dark is a blanket, not a wall
Sleep now, my own one, there's nothing to fear
Delilah, the whole world is holding you small
I am right beside you, so close and so near

[Bridge]
No distance can carry you far from this place
No shadow can dim how you're loved through the night
You're the softest thing here, the safest small space
And you'll wake to the morning all golden and bright

[Chorus]
Delilah, the dark is a blanket, not a wall
Sleep now, my own one, there's nothing to fear
Delilah, the whole world is holding you small
I am right beside you, so close and so near

[Outro]
Far off in the valley the last whisper fades
And you sleep safe and warm while the quiet stays
