Embers Down to Quiet
Style: Harp lullaby

[Verse 1]
Soot comes tumbling soft and slow behind the wire screen
Every ember dims a little, giving up its light
Close your eyes and let the warmth still hold you where you've been
Nothing in this room will stir or wake tonight

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the last spark settle out of sight
Nothing here will ask you for another sound
All that's left to do is drift toward

[Chorus]
Aurora, the dark is only kindness dressed in grey
Sleep is just a door that opens soft and low
Close your hand around the warmth that stays
Aurora, I will keep it glowing while you go

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past the guard a small flame bows and disappears
Nothing that goes quiet ever truly goes too far
Rest inside the hush that gathers up your fears
You are held as gently as a low and steady star

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the last spark settle out of sight
Nothing here will ask you for another sound
All that's left to do is drift toward

[Chorus]
Aurora, the dark is only kindness dressed in grey
Sleep is just a door that opens soft and low
Close your hand around the warmth that stays
Aurora, I will keep it glowing while you go

[Bridge]
Even after light has folded into black
I will still be near you, watching, holding on

[Chorus]
Aurora, the dark is only kindness dressed in grey
Sleep is just a door that opens soft and low
Close your hand around the warmth that stays
Aurora, I will keep it glowing while you go

[Outro]
Somewhere the last soot settles soft behind the guard
You are already drifting, already safe, already far
