Embers Down to Gold
Style: Rocking chair waltz

[Verse 1]
The fire has gone soft and low, and still it keeps you warm
Grey ash settles slowly round the embers as they turn
Nothing in this room can do you harm
You are held here safe while all the light burns down to gold

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the day drift far away from you
There is nothing left to chase and nothing left to do
Just this quiet, just this warmth, just you

[Chorus]
Alyssa, sleep, the whole wide night is holding you tonight
Nobody else could ever fill this quiet room with light
You are the warmest thing that this house knows
Alyssa, rest, and let the glow wrap round you as it goes

[Verse 2]
Somewhere the wind is moving trees you'll never have to see
Here in this room the only sound is breathing, soft and slow
You are the reason embers glow
Small as you are, you fill this whole house quietly

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the day drift far away from you
There is nothing left to chase and nothing left to do
Just this quiet, just this warmth, just you

[Chorus]
Alyssa, sleep, the whole wide night is holding you tonight
Nobody else could ever fill this quiet room with light
You are the warmest thing that this house knows
Alyssa, rest, and let the glow wrap round you as it goes

[Bridge]
Long after every ember has gone quiet in the dark
You will still be carried gently in the shape you leave behind
Nothing needs to keep its spark
To still be loved, to still be safe, to still be mine

[Chorus]
Alyssa, sleep, the whole wide night is holding you tonight
Nobody else could ever fill this quiet room with light
You are the warmest thing that this house knows
Alyssa, rest, and let the glow wrap round you as it goes

[Outro]
The ash falls soft and slow around the embers turning gold
Sleep now, you are warm, you are held, you are not alone
