Ember Down to Rest
Style: Celesta and strings

[Verse 1]
The fire is breathing slower now behind the iron bars
Its glow is turning softer like the fading of the stars
And you are safe and heavy in the cradle of my arm
So let the last light dwindle, you were never meant for harm

[Chorus]
Beverly, the whole house has gone quiet just for you
Every corner softened now, every worry through
Beverly, my heavenly, my calm and steady girl
Rest inside the hush tonight, let go and let it curl

[Verse 2]
The ash falls in without a sound, it settles where it lies
No need to keep your eyes on it, you don't need open eyes
Whatever burned today is done, it's turning soft and grey
There's nothing left to hold onto except the end of day

[Pre-chorus]
Feel how the warmth still lingers though the flames have gone to rest
Feel how the dark is gentle now, it only means you're blessed
So let your breathing follow mine and drift where dreaming's best

[Chorus]
Beverly, the whole house has gone quiet just for you
Every corner softened now, every worry through
Beverly, my heavenly, my calm and steady girl
Rest inside the hush tonight, let go and let it curl

[Bridge]
Nothing needs to hold its shape when morning's still so far
You can crumble soft as embers, you can loosen who you are

[Chorus]
Beverly, the whole house has gone quiet just for you
Every corner softened now, every worry through
Beverly, my heavenly, my calm and steady girl
Rest inside the hush tonight, let go and let it curl

[Outro]
The bars hold nothing now but warmth and quiet and the grey
So close your eyes, my Beverly, and drift the dark away
