Wax and Ember
Style: Cello cradle

[Verse 1]
Watch the small flame breathe so softly by your bed tonight
Wax runs slow across the saucer, blue and still
Yellow smoke goes drifting upward, thin and light
You are held here safe and steady, always will

[Pre-chorus]
Every drop falls slower now, the room grows warm and low
Shadows soften into corners, letting go
Rest is coming closer, closer, sweet and slow

[Chorus]
Barnaby, the candle's melting into calm
Sleep is folding round you like a gentle arm
Barnaby, no harm can find you here
You are loved beyond the reach of any fear

[Verse 2]
The wick burns low but never once forgets to hold its glow
Smoke curls upward, soft and slow, then fades from view
Nothing in this quiet room can hurt you now
Every breath you take is safe, is warm, is true

[Chorus]
Barnaby, the candle's melting into calm
Sleep is folding round you like a gentle arm
Barnaby, no harm can find you here
You are loved beyond the reach of any fear

[Bridge]
Wax will pool and cool by morning light
But you are held past dark, past day, past time

[Chorus]
Barnaby, the candle's melting into calm
Sleep is folding round you like a gentle arm
Barnaby, no harm can find you here
You are loved beyond the reach of any fear

[Outro]
The smoke has settled soft and low above the blue
Sleep now, Barnaby, this love stays here with you
