Silver Wheels
Style: Clarinet nightlight

[Verse 1]
Somewhere a carriage rolls soft over a bridge none can see
Wheels turning silver and slow while the valley sleeps deep
Darkness below holds no fear, only rest
And you ride along safely, held close next to me

[Pre-chorus]
Listen, the clacking grows fainter the further we glide
Nothing can reach you while these gentle wheels turn
So hush now, and lean into

[Chorus]
Gabriella, the night has grown soft as a bell
Sleep finds you swaying where shadows can't dwell
Hush now, my Gabriella, the dark means no harm
Close now your eyes, little Gabriella, and rest in this calm

[Verse 2]
Far past the valley the stars keep their small quiet watch
Nothing will wake you, no creak and no chime
Wrapped in the hush of a slow turning wheel
You are the warmest thing carried through time

[Pre-chorus]
Listen, the clacking grows fainter the further we glide
Nothing can reach you while these gentle wheels turn
So hush now, and lean into

[Chorus]
Gabriella, the night has grown soft as a bell
Sleep finds you swaying where shadows can't dwell
Hush now, my Gabriella, the dark means no harm
Close now your eyes, little Gabriella, and rest in this calm

[Bridge]
Nothing below in the dark wants to find you
Only the wheels and my arms stay this near

[Chorus]
Gabriella, the night has grown soft as a bell
Sleep finds you swaying where shadows can't dwell
Hush now, my Gabriella, the dark means no harm
Close now your eyes, little Gabriella, and rest in this calm

[Outro]
Somewhere the wheels have gone quiet and still on the bridge
And you are asleep, carried safe past the dark
