White Smoke Rising
Style: Celesta and strings

[Verse 1]
White smoke is rising slow from the cold stone tonight
Curling up soft where the chimney stands still
You are the warmth that made it, the quiet, the light
Sleeping so deep now, so easy to still

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the house has grown heavy with rest
The stars have leaned close just to watch you like this
And nothing tonight will disturb what is blessed

[Chorus]
Annabelle, the night has wrapped you soft and slow
Somewhere far a quiet bell begins to swell
Every breath you take is one I love to know
Sleep on, sleep on, my Annabelle

[Verse 2]
The fire has gone low but the warmth still remains
Held in the walls like a hand you can trust
Nothing tonight will call you back through the panes
Only the hush, only the smoke, only us

[Bridge]
Somewhere the smoke has curled off into grey
And carried the worries of daytime away

[Chorus]
Annabelle, the night has wrapped you soft and slow
Somewhere far a quiet bell begins to swell
Every breath you take is one I love to know
Sleep on, sleep on, my Annabelle

[Outro]
The smoke drifts up and the chimney stands still and cold
But you are held here, warmer than any story told
