Embers Low
Style: Soft piano

[Verse 1]
The ash slides soft and slow along the glowing coal tonight
Falling without any sound at all, the way that soft things do
And somewhere in that quiet fall there's warmth still holding tight
That warmth is you, Casper, curled up safe and through and through

[Pre-chorus]
Let the fire settle low and let your breathing settle too
Nothing in the dark tonight has any claim on you
Close your eyes now, feel the hush that's gathering round you

[Chorus]
Casper, Casper, sleep is coming soft and slow
Every ember dims a little more so you can rest
Nothing here will ever let the cold night touch you, Casper
You are held, you are warm, you are so deeply blessed

[Verse 2]
The bricks around the fire keep the whole small room from harm
Standing steady while the flickers fade to orange, then to grey
You are held the same way, tucked in safe and just as warm
Nothing needs to hurry now, there's nowhere else to be tonight

[Bridge]
Every glowing thing must dim to let the sleeping start
Let it dim then, slow and gentle, right against your heart

[Chorus]
Casper, Casper, sleep is coming soft and slow
Every ember dims a little more so you can rest
Nothing here will ever let the cold night touch you, Casper
You are held, you are warm, you are so deeply blessed

[Outro]
The ash lies soft and settled now where the glow has gone to rest
Sleep the same way, Casper, gentle, held, and blessed
