Tracks in the Dark
Style: Clarinet nightlight

[Verse 1]
Somewhere out past the curtain a train is humming low
Its wheels are ticking softly on tracks I cannot see
Wooden sleepers counting seconds beneath a silver moon
Jayden, you are the softest thing that this house will ever know

[Pre-chorus]
The clicking fades and settles like breathing through the wall
Every sound tonight is turning gentle just for you
So let the whole wide world grow quiet and small

[Chorus]
Jayden, my heart was hungry until you came along
You make the tired night feel golden, sacred, laden
Close your eyes now, let the dark be kind
There is no place I would rather be, Jayden

[Verse 2]
The window's open just a little, letting in the cool night air
Far away the tracks are singing their slow and steady song
You are wrapped in something warmer than any blanket spun
Nothing in this whole wide night could ever bring you harm

[Bridge]
Rest now, let the distant engine carry off the day
Every worry rides away and leaves you here to stay

[Chorus]
Jayden, my heart was hungry until you came along
You make the tired night feel golden, sacred, laden
Close your eyes now, let the dark be kind
There is no place I would rather be, Jayden

[Outro]
The tracks have gone quiet, the train has drifted on
Sleep soft now, Jayden, until the coming dawn
