[Title] Iron and Light [Verse 1] The lamp burns low beside the maps The clock repeats its patient claim The house is made of wood and stone Yet nothing feels the same The window holds the winter sky The branches scratch the pane outside The room contains its common things Yet something will not hide [Pre-Chorus] No voice No sound Yet every object listens now [Chorus] Stay still Stay still The air has changed tonight Stay still Stay still Do not outrun the light Nothing moves Yet something draws near Stay still Stay still [Verse 2] The iron rails beyond the town Run black beneath the falling dusk The nations labor in their sleep As all their engines must A hand rests lightly on the chair A page lies open where it fell The room grows larger than itself Though I cannot tell [Pre-Chorus] What waits Beyond The edge of what the eye can hold [Chorus] Stay still Stay still The air has changed tonight Stay still Stay still Do not outrun the light Nothing moves Yet something draws near Stay still Stay still [Bridge] The lamp is only lamp-light The chair is only wood The page is only paper As every object should And yet And yet The silence opens wide And all familiar things stand back To make a place inside [Final Chorus] Stay still Stay still The air has changed tonight Stay still Stay still Do not outrun the light Nothing moves Yet something draws near Stay still Stay still The room is not the room tonight [Outro] The clock continues counting The lamp continues on But sometimes in the quiet The walls are wider than the dawn
