Yellow Ticket Home
Style: Folk cradle song

[Verse 1]
Yellow ticket stubs slide on the old green seat
While the dark motorway hums you slowly home
You are curled up warm with your tired little feet
And you're not going anywhere alone

[Pre-chorus]
The lights slip by soft and the engine sings low
Everything you need is right here in this car
So let your eyes close now, there's nowhere to go

[Chorus]
Natalie, the night is holding you gently
Every road tonight leads back to me
Rest your head, there's nothing you need to see
Sleep now, Natalie, safe as can be

[Verse 2]
The green seat is soft as the hush settles in
And the dark outside can't reach you here
Your small hand is warm tucked under my chin
And there is nothing waiting that you need to fear

[Pre-chorus]
The world goes on quiet past the glass and the seam
Everything you need is right here in this car
So let your eyes close now and drift into dream

[Chorus]
Natalie, the night is holding you gently
Every road tonight leads back to me
Rest your head, there's nothing you need to see
Sleep now, Natalie, safe as can be

[Bridge]
Somewhere past the windows the stars keep their place
Watching over you the whole night through
You are held, you are known, in this small quiet space

[Chorus]
Natalie, the night is holding you gently
Every road tonight leads back to me
Rest your head, there's nothing you need to see
Sleep now, Natalie, safe as can be

[Outro]
The ticket stubs rest on the green seat still
Sleep on now, love, we're almost home
