Tail Lights
Style: Ambient wash

[Verse 1]
Rain is drawing soft little rivers down the window glass tonight
far off lights are melting red and low across the dark
somewhere out there the whole world keeps moving on without a sound
you are curled up warm and safe inside this quiet car

[Chorus]
Leia, close your eyes now, let the hum carry you slow
Leia, you're the reason every light stays gentle, stays low
nothing in this whole wide night could ever reach you here
rest now, Leia, you're the softest thing I know

[Verse 2]
Every streetlamp leans in close just to watch you sleeping there
glass is holding little sparks of colour, blurred and slow
you don't need to know the way, you don't need to steer
just breathe easy, let the road decide where we go

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, nothing out there needs your worry or your care
the wipers keep their rhythm like a heartbeat you can trust
let the dark come soft and close, there's nothing you should fear

[Chorus]
Leia, close your eyes now, let the hum carry you slow
Leia, you're the reason every light stays gentle, stays low
nothing in this whole wide night could ever reach you here
rest now, Leia, you're the softest thing I know

[Bridge]
Somewhere behind us the red is fading into grey
you are already halfway to a dream I cannot see
sleep now and know you're carried gently all the way

[Chorus]
Leia, close your eyes now, let the hum carry you slow
Leia, you're the reason every light stays gentle, stays low
nothing in this whole wide night could ever reach you here
rest now, Leia, you're the softest thing I know

[Outro]
The lights have faded soft to nothing on the wet glass now
sleep on, Leia, you are held and carried safely home
