Wheels on the Valley Line
Style: Soft piano

[Verse 1]
Far away a train winds slowly through the valley night
its wheels are clacking softly, low and out of sight
the hills are holding all that sound so gentle
and you are safe here, wrapped in golden light

[Pre-chorus]
Every mile that engine turns is carrying you home
the dark outside can never reach where you have grown
so let your breathing follow every distant, rolling tone

[Chorus]
Victor, close your eyes now, let the night train call you deep
nothing in this whole wide valley wants to break your sleep
I will stay beside you while the world moves slow and small
Victor, drift away now, sweeter dreams are yours to keep

[Verse 2]
The iron tracks run on beneath a sky of quiet stars
warm within your blankets, you are far from where it's hard
every clack and rattle is a hush wrapped up in rhythm
and I am watching over you, my steady little guard

[Bridge]
Let the whistle fade into a memory of sound
let your small hands settle, safe and heavy, sleep bound
nothing out there in the valley dark can find you now

[Chorus]
Victor, close your eyes now, let the night train call you deep
nothing in this whole wide valley wants to break your sleep
I will stay beside you while the world moves slow and small
Victor, drift away now, sweeter dreams are yours to keep

[Outro]
Somewhere still that train moves on through valleys soft and wide
and you are held here gently, till the morning light
