Ash and Ember
Style: Rain and piano

[Verse 1]
The last of the fire is sliding soft and grey and slow
Down through the bars where all the day's light went
You are the warmth still glowing after embers lose their glow
Held safe inside a stillness heaven sent

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the dark come gentle, let it hold you near
Every little sound is fading, soft and low
Nothing in this whole wide night has any cause for fear

[Chorus]
Amaya, sleep is calling soft as rain upon the glass
You are held here closer than the embers to the fire
Nothing in the shadows has the power to touch or pass
Amaya, you're the warmth this whole house needs to breathe and tire

[Verse 2]
The ash falls down so quiet it could never wake a soul
You are louder in my heart than any flame
Somewhere past the window slow grey clouds begin to roll
But nothing in the dark can ever touch your name

[Chorus]
Amaya, sleep is calling soft as rain upon the glass
You are held here closer than the embers to the fire
Nothing in the shadows has the power to touch or pass
Amaya, you're the warmth this whole house needs to breathe and tire

[Bridge]
Rain is falling gentle on the roof above your head
Piano notes are drifting slow to find your bed

[Chorus]
Amaya, sleep is calling soft as rain upon the glass
You are held here closer than the embers to the fire
Nothing in the shadows has the power to touch or pass
Amaya, you're the warmth this whole house needs to breathe and tire

[Outro]
The grate is dark and quiet now, the last of ash has fallen
You are the ember still glowing warm beneath it all
