Red Light Passing
Style: Rocking chair waltz

[Verse 1]
Red light sliding soft along the wall above your head
carries all the noise of the day away instead
you are wrapped so warm beneath this quiet, sleepy blue
nothing in the dark tonight can ever trouble you

[Pre-chorus]
Far off now the train sings low and rolls another mile
let the rumble rock you gently for a little while
close your eyes, my darling, sleep is waiting close behind

[Chorus]
Hush now, Hadley, let the light and shadow play
every worry of the world has drifted far away
Hadley, Hadley, sleep is soft and sleep is kind
rest here safely, leave the whole wide world behind

[Verse 2]
Watch how gently red turns gold and gold turns into grey
this is just the night time saying goodnight in its own way
you are held here, you are safe here, nothing needs to stir
every little sound outside is only love, a blur

[Chorus]
Hush now, Hadley, let the light and shadow play
every worry of the world has drifted far away
Hadley, Hadley, sleep is soft and sleep is kind
rest here safely, leave the whole wide world behind

[Bridge]
Somewhere trains keep travelling on to towns you'll never see
none of it matters half as much as you resting next to me
stay a while in stillness, let the whole night rock you slow

[Chorus]
Hush now, Hadley, let the light and shadow play
every worry of the world has drifted far away
Hadley, Hadley, sleep is soft and sleep is kind
rest here safely, leave the whole wide world behind

[Outro]
Red light fading now, the wall has gone to rest
sleep tight, little one, you always were the best
