Dim Lights Along the Line
Style: Vibraphone drift

[Verse 1]
A little light is swaying soft along the midnight track
It carries on through empty fields where no one else can see
And every gentle sway of it is carrying you back
To somewhere warm and certain, love, to somewhere safe as sleep

[Pre-chorus]
So let the dark come slowly now, there's nothing here to fear
The whole wide field is holding still just to keep you near
And every light along the line is leaning close to hear

[Chorus]
Elin, Elin, close your eyes and let the night carry you
The lights are swaying gently now, they know just what to do
Nothing in this whole wide world could ever trouble you
Sleep now, Elin, sleep now, the dark is kind and true

[Verse 2]
The tracks run on through fields that no one else will ever find
But you don't need to see the way, you only need to rest
Someone's holding all the dark so softly close behind
And every mile of quiet now is leading to your best

[Pre-chorus]
So let the dark come slowly now, there's nothing here to fear
The whole wide field is holding still just to keep you near
And every light along the line is leaning close to hear

[Chorus]
Elin, Elin, close your eyes and let the night carry you
The lights are swaying gently now, they know just what to do
Nothing in this whole wide world could ever trouble you
Sleep now, Elin, sleep now, the dark is kind and true

[Bridge]
No sound but the soft metal hum of something moving slow
Nowhere you need to be but here, wrapped up and warm and low

[Chorus]
Elin, Elin, close your eyes and let the night carry you
The lights are swaying gently now, they know just what to do
Nothing in this whole wide world could ever trouble you
Sleep now, Elin, sleep now, the dark is kind and true

[Outro]
The little light still sways along the field, so soft, so slow
You are loved as far as any quiet track can go
