Ash and Ember
Style: Harp lullaby

[Verse 1]
The little fire is settling low behind the bars tonight
Grey ash is falling gently like the softest kind of light
There's nothing in this room that means you any harm
You're wrapped in more than blankets, you are wrapped in warm

[Pre-chorus]
Every ember dims a little as the hour grows late
Nothing in the dark tonight is something you should wait for
Close your eyes and let the quiet come and find you

[Chorus]
Annie, Annie, the night is soft and slow
Everything you need to know is you are loved, and so
Sleep can come now, easy, with nothing left to fear
Annie, hush now, close your eyes, your rest is near

[Verse 2]
The fire will be nothing but a memory by morning
But you will still be here, no need for any warning
Whatever falls to quiet only makes room for the new
There's always something waking soft and warm because of you

[Chorus]
Annie, Annie, the night is soft and slow
Everything you need to know is you are loved, and so
Sleep can come now, easy, with nothing left to fear
Annie, hush now, close your eyes, your rest is near

[Bridge]
No need to hold the light, let it go where it may fall
Someone's watching over all of it, and over you through all

[Chorus]
Annie, Annie, the night is soft and slow
Everything you need to know is you are loved, and so
Sleep can come now, easy, with nothing left to fear
Annie, hush now, close your eyes, your rest is near

[Outro]
The last of the ash has settled soft behind the bars
And you are settling too, as quiet as the stars
