The Yellow Lights Are Far Away
Style: Cello cradle

[Verse 1]
Far off in the fields the yellow lights are moving slow
They carry on their journey while you rest here safe and still
Nothing out there needs you now, so let the whole world go
There's nowhere you should be tonight but tucked against the sill

[Chorus]
Paul, the dark is only quiet wearing softer clothes
Every hum outside becomes a song that we can share
Paul, my hand will stay right here till morning shows
Nothing in the night will ever find you unaware

[Verse 2]
Somewhere on a steel track something hums a low goodnight
It won't come near, it only sings to send you drifting deep
There's a warmth here that will hold you till the morning light
No need to keep one eye half open, you can finally sleep

[Pre-chorus]
Feel how heavy your small hands have grown against the sheet
Hear how far that distant engine sounds from where you lie
Let your breathing slow to match it, soft and slow and sweet

[Chorus]
Paul, the dark is only quiet wearing softer clothes
Every hum outside becomes a song that we can share
Paul, my hand will stay right here till morning shows
Nothing in the night will ever find you unaware

[Bridge]
Whatever crosses far off fields will not cross into here
This room belongs to you alone, and quiet, and my care

[Chorus]
Paul, the dark is only quiet wearing softer clothes
Every hum outside becomes a song that we can share
Paul, my hand will stay right here till morning shows
Nothing in the night will ever find you unaware

[Outro]
The lights have gone now, farther than the fields could ever hold
Sleep on, Paul, you're warmer than the whole night's cold
