Embers Low
Style: Fingerpicked night

[Verse 1]
The last of the fire is settling soft and slow
Grey ash is curling down where the warm light used to glow
Nothing in this room is asking you to stay awake
Every little sound tonight is only for your sake

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes and let the quiet start to climb
Feel how gently everything is folding into time
Here is where the whole wide night begins to lean

[Chorus]
Cleo, the dark is only a blanket pulled up high
Cleo, there is nothing waiting that could make you cry
You are held the way the embers hold their glow
Warm and low and safe as anything I know

[Verse 2]
The grate breathes out its heat like a slow and steady song
You can rest inside that sound the whole night long
Nothing has to hurry, nothing has to end
Sleep is just the dark deciding to be your friend

[Chorus]
Cleo, the dark is only a blanket pulled up high
Cleo, there is nothing waiting that could make you cry
You are held the way the embers hold their glow
Warm and low and safe as anything I know

[Bridge]
Somewhere past the window the whole world settles too
Every quiet thing tonight is dimming down like you
Let your breathing slow to match the fading light

[Chorus]
Cleo, the dark is only a blanket pulled up high
Cleo, there is nothing waiting that could make you cry
You are held the way the embers hold their glow
Warm and low and safe as anything I know

[Outro]
The ash falls soft and settles at the bottom of the grate
Sleep falls soft on you now, and I will gladly wait
