Softly the Buckle Clicks
Style: Folk cradle song

[Verse 1]
Softly the buckle clicks and settles you in tight
the dashboard glows a small and gentle light
you are the reason every road feels calm and slow
the only place I want to be is close to you, I know

[Pre-chorus]
Let your eyes grow heavy as the streetlights drift and blur
there is nowhere safer than right here where you are
so let the hum beneath you carry you somewhere warm

[Chorus]
Romy, the night is holding you so gently now
every mile is quiet, every breath somehow
you are loved beyond the words I have to say
Romy, close your eyes, I'm not going anywhere away

[Verse 2]
The clock glows soft and steady like a tiny patient moon
counting down the minutes till you drift off soon
nothing in this darkness means you any harm
you are wrapped in something steadier than my arm

[Chorus]
Romy, the night is holding you so gently now
every mile is quiet, every breath somehow
you are loved beyond the words I have to say
Romy, close your eyes, I'm not going anywhere away

[Bridge]
Wherever this road happens to be going
I will still be here when the morning starts showing
you can rest inside the warmth that we have made

[Chorus]
Romy, the night is holding you so gently now
every mile is quiet, every breath somehow
you are loved beyond the words I have to say
Romy, close your eyes, I'm not going anywhere away

[Outro]
Sleep now while the small light glows on steady and slow
you are safe here, wherever this quiet road may go
