Silver Spokes
Style: Vibraphone drift

[Verse 1]
Silver spokes are spinning slow through falling evening rain
Turning gentle circles till the dark comes round again
Oak leaves make a canopy to keep you dry and warm
Nothing in this whole wide night will ever bring you harm

[Chorus]
Effie, close your eyes now, let the quiet hold you steady
Rain is singing soft above and you are always ready
Effie, you are treasured more than any bevy could contain
Rest inside the sound of spokes still turning in the rain

[Verse 2]
Every drop that falls tonight is falling just for you
Painting all the sleepy dark in silver and in blue
Wheels keep turning gently as the hours drift away
Carrying you softly to the edge of another day

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the rain keep time upon the leaves above you
Nothing in the dark tonight will ever stop this love, you
Feel it winding round you like the spokes that never fall

[Chorus]
Effie, close your eyes now, let the quiet hold you steady
Rain is singing soft above and you are always ready
Effie, you are treasured more than any bevy could contain
Rest inside the sound of spokes still turning in the rain

[Bridge]
Under leaves the night grows still and soft as breath can be
Safe beneath the oak's wide arms, there's nowhere else to be

[Chorus]
Effie, close your eyes now, let the quiet hold you steady
Rain is singing soft above and you are always ready
Effie, you are treasured more than any bevy could contain
Rest inside the sound of spokes still turning in the rain

[Outro]
The spokes go turning softer now beneath the sleepy trees
Sleep, and know you're held as gently as the falling leaves
