Slow Wheels Home
Style: Ambient wash

[Verse 1]
The tyres turn so slowly on the gravel by the trees
and the branches lean above us in the softest breeze
you are curled up warm beside me, nothing needs to stir
every mile tonight is quiet, every road is sure

[Chorus]
Ophelia, close your eyes now, let the night be still
there is nowhere you should be but here upon this hill
Ophelia, you are treasured more than you could ever see
sleep and know that you are loved as deeply as can be

[Verse 2]
The wet stones hush the wheels until we barely make a sound
and the dark leans low and gentle wrapping softly all around
nothing hurries where we're going, nothing needs to rush or fly
you can rest inside this moment, let the whole wide world go by

[Pre-chorus]
Listen to the slow wheels turning, calm and even, calm and true
feel how nothing in this darkness means a single harm to you
hold that feeling closer, closer, let it carry you to

[Chorus]
Ophelia, close your eyes now, let the night be still
there is nowhere you should be but here upon this hill
Ophelia, you are treasured more than you could ever see
sleep and know that you are loved as deeply as can be

[Bridge]
Somewhere branches dip so low they brush the roof above
cradling this small journey like a promise, like a love
nothing far and nothing waiting, only this soft ride

[Chorus]
Ophelia, close your eyes now, let the night be still
there is nowhere you should be but here upon this hill
Ophelia, you are treasured more than you could ever see
sleep and know that you are loved as deeply as can be

[Outro]
The wheels have slowed to nothing now, the branches still and low
rest here in the quiet, dear, and let the whole world go
