Grey Ash, Warm Room
Style: Rocking chair waltz

[Verse 1]
The fire is sinking low and soft behind the iron bars
While a small wind hums along the bricks outside
You are curled up warm where nothing cold can reach you
And the whole wide dark tonight is put aside

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the last light fold and settle
There's no need to chase the evening on
You are exactly where you're meant to be tonight

[Chorus]
Sleep now, Benjamin, the house is breathing slow
Nothing in this room will let you down
You are loved as steady as the embers glow
Benjamin, the quiet wraps around

[Verse 2]
The ash falls soft and grey like snow that never lands
And the draft outside just sighs and drifts away
You don't have to hold on to a single worry now
Every corner of this dark is safe till day

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the last light fold and settle
There's no need to chase the evening on
You are exactly where you're meant to be tonight

[Chorus]
Sleep now, Benjamin, the house is breathing slow
Nothing in this room will let you down
You are loved as steady as the embers glow
Benjamin, the quiet wraps around

[Bridge]
Somewhere past the window the wide night waits and wanders
But it can't come past this door, not tonight
You are held here closer than the warmth against the iron

[Chorus]
Sleep now, Benjamin, the house is breathing slow
Nothing in this room will let you down
You are loved as steady as the embers glow
Benjamin, the quiet wraps around

[Outro]
The ash keeps glowing soft behind the bars till morning
Sleep now, you are held, and all is well
