Where the Lights Go Soft
Style: Celesta and strings

[Verse 1]
Bare branches let the last light slip quietly through them
Winter holds its breath above the sleeping railway line
Somewhere far a train is carrying its small warm glow away
And still I hold you closer as the evening starts to shine

[Pre-chorus]
Every light that fades tonight is only turning home
Nothing in the dark out there can find you where you lie
So let your tired eyes go soft and drift where dreaming goes

[Chorus]
Remi, the dark is only a blanket pulled round you slow
Close your eyes and let the whole wide night go dreamy
Nothing out there can touch the warmth that we both know
You are the safest thing this quiet world has, Remi

[Verse 2]
A distant whistle hums a low and gentle lullaby of its own
Black embankments keep their secrets underneath the stars so still
You are wrapped up warmer than the softest thing that ever glowed
Nothing can reach you now, not cold, not dark, not any chill

[Chorus]
Remi, the dark is only a blanket pulled round you slow
Close your eyes and let the whole wide night go dreamy
Nothing out there can touch the warmth that we both know
You are the safest thing this quiet world has, Remi

[Bridge]
Rest now, the whole night is holding its breath for you
There is nowhere you are needed but curled up right here

[Chorus]
Remi, the dark is only a blanket pulled round you slow
Close your eyes and let the whole wide night go dreamy
Nothing out there can touch the warmth that we both know
You are the safest thing this quiet world has, Remi

[Outro]
Somewhere the last red light has faded soft into the night
Sleep now, you are already home, you are already mine
