Radio Tower Lullaby
“This one started as a hum over a sleepy loop, a lullaby for the blinking red light we could see from the roof. We stacked the harmonies until it felt like being tucked in.”

Lyrics
There's a red light blinking on the hill Over the fields where all is still It sends a song across the dark To every window, every park A trucker hears it on the road A nurse hears it in her cold abode A boy abroad with his suitcase packed Hears a voice that brings him back Oh the signal travels far Further than the farthest star Radio tower, hum me home Though the miles are long, I'm not alone Send your lullaby down the wire Soft as dusk and warm as fire Radio tower, hum me home Through the static I can hear the tone Close my eyes and you are near Sleep now, love, the night is clear Somewhere my mother leaves a light Somewhere the kitchen clock says night The distance folds into a thread Of music drifting past my bed Oh the signal travels far Further than the farthest star Radio tower, hum me home Though the miles are long, I'm not alone Send your lullaby down the wire Soft as dusk and warm as fire Radio tower, hum me home Through the static I can hear the tone Close my eyes and you are near Sleep now, love, the night is clear Waves of silver, waves of blue Carry every dream to you Over rooftops, over sea Someone's listening, someone's free Radio tower, hum me home Though the miles are long, I'm not alone Send your lullaby down the wire Soft as dusk and warm as fire Radio tower, hum me home Through the static I can hear the tone Close my eyes and you are near Sleep now, love, the night is clear Sleep now, love The night is clear
