Ash and Ember
Style: Humming choir

[Verse 1]
The fire is going soft behind its little wire screen
Watch how the ash comes drifting down so slow
You are the warmest thing that this old room has seen
Long after every ember has forgotten how to glow

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the small light fade away
There is nothing in the dark that means you harm
Rest here while the last of daylight starts to sway

[Chorus]
Clara, the night is only sleep in a warmer form
Nothing in this house will ever leave you cold
You are held here safer than a fire in a storm
Clara, you are worth more than any story told

[Verse 2]
The screen holds back the sparks so none of them can stray
You are held back too, from anything unkind
Every falling ash flake has its own gentle way
Of settling down soft, the way you settle in my mind

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the small light fade away
There is nothing in the dark that means you harm
Rest here while the last of daylight starts to sway

[Chorus]
Clara, the night is only sleep in a warmer form
Nothing in this house will ever leave you cold
You are held here safer than a fire in a storm
Clara, you are worth more than any story told

[Bridge]
Even when the flame is gone the warmth stays in the stone
You will always have a place that calls you home

[Chorus]
Clara, the night is only sleep in a warmer form
Nothing in this house will ever leave you cold
You are held here safer than a fire in a storm
Clara, you are worth more than any story told

[Outro]
The last of the ash has settled soft and still
Sleep now, Clara, safe from any chill
