Slow Wheels on the Ceiling
Style: Ambient wash

[Verse 1]
Outside your window a bicycle leans against the old stone wall
its wheel is turning slowly in the quiet evening air
shadows climb the ceiling in a slow and gentle line
you watch them circle softly till your eyes begin to fall

[Pre-chorus]
The spokes are turning shadows that no sound can ever reach
hush is filling up the room like tide along the beach
so let the quiet gather now and carry you to sleep

[Chorus]
Harmony, the dark is soft and nothing here can harm thee
close your eyes, the night will hold you gentle, safe and calm
rest inside the hush that wraps around you like a warm arm
sleep now, little one, there's no more peaceful place to be

[Verse 2]
Somewhere down the lane the bicycle is finally still and resting
wheels have stopped their turning now, the spokes have gone to sleep
you are wrapped in blankets warm as any summer evening
and the whole wide world has softened into shadows deep

[Chorus]
Harmony, the dark is soft and nothing here can harm thee
close your eyes, the night will hold you gentle, safe and calm
rest inside the hush that wraps around you like a warm arm
sleep now, little one, there's no more peaceful place to be

[Bridge]
Every shadow on the wall is just the night being kind
nothing moves now but the slow and steady dark

[Chorus]
Harmony, the dark is soft and nothing here can harm thee
close your eyes, the night will hold you gentle, safe and calm
rest inside the hush that wraps around you like a warm arm
sleep now, little one, there's no more peaceful place to be

[Outro]
Somewhere the bicycle waits quiet in the moonlight till the morning
you are held and warm and safe till day comes softly calling
