Steel Wheels Far Away
Style: Flute and pad

[Verse 1]
Yellow light slips soft across the ceiling as the night rolls in
Far off wheels are singing low, a rumble thin as skin
Nothing in that sound can reach you here where you are lying
You are held so close and warm you barely feel it spin

[Pre-chorus]
Every light that flickers far will fade before you wake
Every sound the dark can hold is only there to break
So let your breathing slow right down for sleep's own gentle sake

[Chorus]
Finlay, the night has got you now, so soft and safe and warm
Nothing can touch you, Finlay, wrapped up away from harm
Steel wheels rattle far beyond the edges of this room
You rest inside the quiet centre of the storm

[Verse 2]
The ceiling holds a passing flash and then it lets it go
Just like the day you carried lets its worries finally slow
You do not need to chase the light or wonder where it's headed
All you need is here, and here is all you need to know

[Chorus]
Finlay, the night has got you now, so soft and safe and warm
Nothing can touch you, Finlay, wrapped up away from harm
Steel wheels rattle far beyond the edges of this room
You rest inside the quiet centre of the storm

[Bridge]
Sleep is a train that only travels gently, only travels slow
Carrying you further into rest than you could ever know

[Chorus]
Finlay, the night has got you now, so soft and safe and warm
Nothing can touch you, Finlay, wrapped up away from harm
Steel wheels rattle far beyond the edges of this room
You rest inside the quiet centre of the storm

[Outro]
The light has gone from off the ceiling, quiet now and still
You are loved beyond the distance of the furthest hill
