Steel Tracks Humming
Style: Fingerpicked night

[Verse 1]
Far off tracks are humming low beneath the floor tonight
Windows shiver softly with a whisper, not a fright
You are wrapped in blankets while the world runs far from here
Nothing on that distant line can ever reach you, dear

[Pre-chorus]
Every rumble fades away before it finds your bed
Close your eyes and let the hush settle round your head
Sleep is waiting gently just above your drowsy head

[Chorus]
Suzanne, the night has wrapped you in its quiet, steady hand
Nothing in the dark tonight can touch you where you stand
Suzanne, my love will hold you longer than that trailing span
Rest now, little dreamer, safe as houses, safe as land

[Verse 2]
Somewhere down the valley engines sing their sleepy song
Glass panes hum an answer, soft and low and never long
Rest here where the noise outside can never touch your skin
Let the humming carry you to somewhere warm within

[Bridge]
Hush now, every rattle turns to lullaby tonight
Let it rock you gently like a cradle made of light

[Chorus]
Suzanne, the night has wrapped you in its quiet, steady hand
Nothing in the dark tonight can touch you where you stand
Suzanne, my love will hold you longer than that trailing span
Rest now, little dreamer, safe as houses, safe as land

[Outro]
Far off tracks are humming, softer now than any breath
Sleep now, little one, held closer than the coming dawn
