Embers Low
Style: Rocking chair waltz

[Verse 1]
The fire is turning gentle, easing down to rest
Soft grey ash is falling, quiet as a held breath
Nothing in this room can reach you now
And you are held here safer than the rest

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes and let the warm light hold you
Nothing in the dark tonight will fold you
I am here to keep you safe till morning comes

[Chorus]
David, sleep is calling soft and low
Every ember dims the way it ought to go
Rest inside the quiet that I gave you
David, let the whole wide night be slow

[Verse 2]
The embers glow a colour only night can make
Something warm and steady that will never shake
You are wrapped in more than blankets now
And nothing here will ask you to awake

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes and let the warm light hold you
Nothing in the dark tonight will fold you
I am here to keep you safe till morning comes

[Chorus]
David, sleep is calling soft and low
Every ember dims the way it ought to go
Rest inside the quiet that I gave you
David, let the whole wide night be slow

[Bridge]
However far this small light travels down
It leaves you warmer than it ever found you
You are the reason this whole house stays gentle
You are the calm this quiet night has saved

[Chorus]
David, sleep is calling soft and low
Every ember dims the way it ought to go
Rest inside the quiet that I gave you
David, let the whole wide night be slow

[Outro]
The last of the ash is settling soft and slow
Sleep now, David, safe in all this glow
