Steel Wheels, Soft Sleep
Style: Accordion cradle

[Verse 1]
Far off wheels are clicking soft along the frosty rail
Carrying a quiet rhythm like a slow and steady tale
Frost is climbing gently on the glass beside your bed
You are warm and held here, safe within this quiet vale

[Chorus]
Lori, hush now, let the whole wide world go still
Nothing out there matters more than resting on this sill
Every click and clatter fades to nothing but a hum
Lori, you're my glory, and you always will

[Verse 2]
Somewhere down the tracks a distant whistle hums so low
Wrapped up in your blanket with the lamp turned soft and slow
Every little sound out there is just a lullaby
Rocking you to sleep the way the old trains always go

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes and let the night pull gently at your hand
Let the hush of steel and starlight help you understand
There is nothing waiting out there you need to be afraid of

[Chorus]
Lori, hush now, let the whole wide world go still
Nothing out there matters more than resting on this sill
Every click and clatter fades to nothing but a hum
Lori, you're my glory, and you always will

[Bridge]
Every mile that train has gone, it circles back to you
Every sound outside this room is just a soft love song too

[Chorus]
Lori, hush now, let the whole wide world go still
Nothing out there matters more than resting on this sill
Every click and clatter fades to nothing but a hum
Lori, you're my glory, and you always will

[Outro]
Somewhere far the wheels roll on beyond the frosted pane
Sleep now, little Lori, you are home and safe again
