Grey Ash, Soft Light
Style: Rocking chair waltz

[Verse 1]
The fire is easing down to a soft grey rest tonight
Warm little embers are letting go of their light
You are curled up safe where the quiet begins to grow
Nothing can reach you here, so let your breathing go slow

[Chorus]
Abel, the house is hushed and the world outside is still
Sleep is a gentle field and you're free to roam it at will
Nobody's calling you back, there's nowhere you have to be
Abel, just rest right here in the arms that are holding thee

[Verse 2]
Ash settles soft in the grate like snow lying down to stay
Quiet has covered the room in its own careful way
You don't need to hold on to a single thing but this warmth
Sleep is already folding its wings gently around your form

[Pre-chorus]
Feel how the last of the light is turning to smoke and rest
Nothing is asking for more than what you already possess
Close your eyes now, love is still glowing beneath your chest

[Chorus]
Abel, the house is hushed and the world outside is still
Sleep is a gentle field and you're free to roam it at will
Nobody's calling you back, there's nowhere you have to be
Abel, just rest right here in the arms that are holding thee

[Bridge]
Even the fire has learned how to let its brightness fade
Softly, without any fear, it just settles into shade
You can do the same now, safe beneath this quiet weight

[Chorus]
Abel, the house is hushed and the world outside is still
Sleep is a gentle field and you're free to roam it at will
Nobody's calling you back, there's nowhere you have to be
Abel, just rest right here in the arms that are holding thee

[Outro]
Grey ash is settling soft where the warm fire used to be
Sleep now, Abel, still held, still warm, still safe with me
