Far Off Lights
Style: Glockenspiel

[Verse 1]
Somewhere far the metal tracks are humming low and slow
carrying a quiet song that only you would know
headlights drift across the hill like dreams too shy to stay
softly they will fade to grey and carry night away

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes, the world outside has settled into rest
every worried thought of yours can lay against my chest
hold on to this gentle hush, let it carry you

[Chorus]
Ximena, the night is holding you so near
nothing in the dark tonight will bring you fear
you are safe as embankments soft with fading light
sleep now, sleep now, Ximena, through the night

[Verse 2]
The distant hum becomes a hush that wraps around your bed
warm as morning sun before the sky has turned to red
every sweeping light outside is only passing by
none of them could ever match the calm in your soft eye

[Chorus]
Ximena, the night is holding you so near
nothing in the dark tonight will bring you fear
you are safe as embankments soft with fading light
sleep now, sleep now, Ximena, through the night

[Bridge]
Rest inside the quiet that the evening brings to you
let the tracks hum softer than the things you knew
nothing far or fading ever needs to steal your peace

[Chorus]
Ximena, the night is holding you so near
nothing in the dark tonight will bring you fear
you are safe as embankments soft with fading light
sleep now, sleep now, Ximena, through the night

[Outro]
The tracks have gone quiet, the light has drifted away
you are held here softly until the break of day
