Embers for Benjamin
Style: Flute and pad

[Verse 1]
The grate holds a glow that is fading down slow and warm
Grey cinders are keeping the last of the light from harm
And just like that ember still breathing beneath the ash
You carry a warmth that will never once burn to ash

[Pre-chorus]
So let your small hands and your worries unclench and rest
Let every bright worry lie down in your quiet chest
There's nothing to chase now, there's only this hush and you

[Chorus]
Benjamin, close your eyes, let the last light dim and blur
Nothing tonight can reach where you are, nothing can stir
Sleep now, my Benjamin, safe as the coals breathing slow
Held in the warmth long after the brightest flames go

[Verse 2]
Outside the window the whole dark world has gone to rest
The hush that falls now is only proof that you are blessed
No shadow that gathers can ever come close to your bed
Only the soft weight of sleep settling over your head

[Pre-chorus]
So let your small hands and your worries unclench and rest
Let every bright worry lie down in your quiet chest
There's nothing to chase now, there's only this hush and you

[Chorus]
Benjamin, close your eyes, let the last light dim and blur
Nothing tonight can reach where you are, nothing can stir
Sleep now, my Benjamin, safe as the coals breathing slow
Held in the warmth long after the brightest flames go

[Bridge]
Even when morning comes and the grate turns cold and grey
The warmth that you are will still be here to stay

[Chorus]
Benjamin, close your eyes, let the last light dim and blur
Nothing tonight can reach where you are, nothing can stir
Sleep now, my Benjamin, safe as the coals breathing slow
Held in the warmth long after the brightest flames go

[Outro]
The last of the embers is settling soft into grey
And you are the warmth that will carry through till day
