The Iron Bridge
Style: Gentle acoustic

[Verse 1]
Far off a train hums low and slow across the dark
and somewhere steel wheels cross an iron bridge alone
a small click echoes soft then fades without a mark
but here inside these walls your breathing makes a home

[Pre-chorus]
Let every distant sound grow quiet as it nears you
the whole wide night is folding gently round this bed
and nothing far away has any claim to steer you

[Chorus]
Roman, hush now, let the dark be kind and known
you are held so close you never walk alone
sleep is just a quiet river drifting to be shown
and you are safe here, Roman, warm as any stone

[Verse 2]
The bridge will hum its iron song to no one near
and the train will carry on to somewhere far and grown
but you are not that traveller, you have nothing here to fear
you are the one thing steady while the whole world's thrown

[Bridge]
Rest your small hand where the heartbeat keeps its time
let the far click fade until it's only mine

[Chorus]
Roman, hush now, let the dark be kind and known
you are held so close you never walk alone
sleep is just a quiet river drifting to be shown
and you are safe here, Roman, warm as any stone

[Outro]
The train moves on and leaves its echo on the air
but you are here with me, and that is all my care
