The Hum Beneath the Floor
Style: Celesta and strings

[Verse 1]
A train goes humming soft beneath the floor tonight
and folds the whole wide house in something warm and deep
you are the calmest thing I've ever held in sight
and nothing hums as soft as this to bring you sleep

[Pre-chorus]
The night leans in as soft as breath against the windowpane
and every worry drifts away like light after the rain
so let it hold you gently now, and carry you along

[Chorus]
Emma, Emma, everything is quiet here tonight
and every worry far away can't come too near
you are the softest, warmest, safest kind of light
so rest now, Emma, everything you need is here

[Verse 2]
The house breathes slow now, echoes fading far along the floor
and every worry of the world dissolves into a hush
I think of steel and distance, and I love you even more
because no sound could ever match the calm of this quiet rush

[Pre-chorus]
The night leans in as soft as breath against the windowpane
and every worry drifts away like light after the rain
so let it hold you gently now, and carry you along

[Chorus]
Emma, Emma, everything is quiet here tonight
and every worry far away can't come too near
you are the softest, warmest, safest kind of light
so rest now, Emma, everything you need is here

[Bridge]
Long after every train has run its rails to sleep
this love will still be humming low and holding you
nothing distant, nothing far, has half the hold I keep
so rest inside the quiet, Emma, it is only true

[Chorus]
Emma, Emma, everything is quiet here tonight
and every worry far away can't come too near
you are the softest, warmest, safest kind of light
so rest now, Emma, everything you need is here

[Outro]
The tracks below have quieted, and so has all the world
sleep now, Emma, you are held, you are safe, you are loved
