Distant Train
Style: Music box

[Verse 1]
A train is calling softly somewhere far along the line
The whole wide world is settling into shadow and to rest
You're wrapped up warm and steady in this quiet of mine
Nothing out there tonight can touch the one I love best

[Chorus]
Ivy, Ivy, close your eyes and drift away with me
Every little sound out there is turning into rhyme
Nothing in this whole night could ever trouble Ivy
There's no place I would rather be than here this time

[Verse 2]
The distant wheels are humming out a slow and steady song
They carry all their little lights to somewhere far from here
You don't need to follow where the trains have gone along
Your only place tonight is warm and safe and near

[Pre-chorus]
Hear how the whistle fades away to nothing but a hush
Feel how your breathing slows to match the turning of the night
Sleep is coming gently now, so quiet and unrushed

[Chorus]
Ivy, Ivy, close your eyes and drift away with me
Every little sound out there is turning into rhyme
Nothing in this whole night could ever trouble Ivy
There's no place I would rather be than here this time

[Bridge]
Let the far off engine hum you gently out of day
You are held here safer than the moon is safe and high

[Chorus]
Ivy, Ivy, close your eyes and drift away with me
Every little sound out there is turning into rhyme
Nothing in this whole night could ever trouble Ivy
There's no place I would rather be than here this time

[Outro]
The train has faded off to somewhere soft and far away
You are held here warm and quiet till the breaking of the day
