The Last Train Home
Style: Music box

[Verse 1]
Somewhere the metal tracks are humming soft and low tonight
Red lights are fading out beyond the far and quiet hill
But here in this room you're held so gently and so tight
And nothing in the wide dark world can touch you, resting still

[Pre-chorus]
The train is gone now, and the night has settled deep and slow
Your breathing finds the rhythm that the whole wide world will follow
So let your tired eyes go soft, there's nowhere left to go

[Chorus]
Piper, close your eyes, the dark is only warm and kind
Every little sound tonight is humming just for you
Piper, you're the calm that I was always meant to find
There's nothing in this whole wide night that you need to push through

[Verse 2]
The taillights melt away like colours dropped in gentle rain
You're wrapped in something softer than the quiet ever knew
This little room remembers every hush and every name
And every hush tonight was only ever meant for you

[Chorus]
Piper, close your eyes, the dark is only warm and kind
Every little sound tonight is humming just for you
Piper, you're the calm that I was always meant to find
There's nothing in this whole wide night that you need to push through

[Bridge]
Far off wheels are turning slower into sleep
While you are held here, safe and warm and deep

[Chorus]
Piper, close your eyes, the dark is only warm and kind
Every little sound tonight is humming just for you
Piper, you're the calm that I was always meant to find
There's nothing in this whole wide night that you need to push through

[Outro]
The tracks have gone quiet, the last light has slipped from view
Sleep now, little Piper, this whole soft dark belongs to you
