Carriage Lights on Black Hills
Style: Flute and pad

[Verse 1]
Far off the steel tracks are humming low and slow tonight
Carriage lights are crossing black hills one by one
You are wrapped up warm where nothing in the dark can bite
Rest here in the quiet till the darkness comes undone

[Pre-chorus]
Every light that travels far still finds its way back home
The hum beneath the hills is just the world's own steady breath
So let your small hands settle, you don't have to roam

[Chorus]
Timothy, the night is holding you like cinnamon tea
Soft and warm and closer than the quiet symmetry
Nothing out there in the dark can come and trouble thee
Timothy, you're safe as any hymn to thee

[Verse 2]
Somewhere on the hillside a window glows and drifts from view
The tracks keep humming softly long after lights are gone
You don't need to follow them, there's nowhere you must go to
Just let the hum become the sound you're sleeping on

[Bridge]
Every hill will keep its shape till morning comes around
Every train arrives somewhere, so let that thought lie down

[Chorus]
Timothy, the night is holding you like cinnamon tea
Soft and warm and closer than the quiet symmetry
Nothing out there in the dark can come and trouble thee
Timothy, you're safe as any hymn to thee

[Outro]
Far off the steel tracks hum their last and gentle sigh
Sleep now, little light, beneath the same wide sky
