A Light Down the Valley
Style: Ambient wash

[Verse 1]
Far down the valley a light finds its way home
Sliding soft on the wallpaper before it has flown
You watch it go quiet with your head on the pillow
Safe in this room like a boat in still water

[Pre-chorus]
Nothing that moves out there can touch where you lie
Every small sound is just the night breathing by
Close your eyes now, let the dark carry you slow

[Chorus]
Faye, the whole wide dark is holding you gently
Sleep is a road and you travel it sweetly
Nothing will wake you, nothing will stray
Rest easy now, my darling Faye

[Verse 2]
Somewhere a car turns and its beam finds the ceiling
Brushing across like a hand, soft and healing
You do not stir, you are already drifting
Held in a calm that keeps quietly lifting

[Pre-chorus]
Nothing that moves out there can touch where you lie
Every small sound is just the night breathing by
Close your eyes now, let the dark carry you slow

[Chorus]
Faye, the whole wide dark is holding you gently
Sleep is a road and you travel it sweetly
Nothing will wake you, nothing will stray
Rest easy now, my darling Faye

[Bridge]
You are the warmth that no distance can dim
Held closer than any far light on the rim

[Chorus]
Faye, the whole wide dark is holding you gently
Sleep is a road and you travel it sweetly
Nothing will wake you, nothing will stray
Rest easy now, my darling Faye

[Outro]
That light has moved on, but you are still here
Wrapped up in sleep, in the warm and the near
