Keep the Fire Slow
Style: Irish air

[Verse 1]
Two blankets folded over dry logs
You lay them down without a word
Embers hold their glow till morning
Something in that steadiness I trust

[Pre-chorus]
I've watched you build this kind of warmth
Never rushing, never loud
Now the quiet asks me closer

[Chorus]
Dennis, you're the fire I bank at night
Not the spark but the steady light
No one else keeps me half this warm
You're the reason cold feels right

[Verse 2]
Wool against the winter coming through
You wrap it round my shoulders first
Smoke goes up before the sleeping
Care like that, I never learned to earn

[Pre-chorus]
I've watched you build this kind of warmth
Never rushing, never loud
Now the quiet asks me closer

[Chorus]
Dennis, you're the fire I bank at night
Not the spark but the steady light
No one else keeps me half this warm
You're the reason cold feels right

[Bridge]
Let the whole world turn to frost
We'll keep low coals and call it home
You never needed to be loud
Just steady, and that's plenty

[Chorus]
Dennis, you're the fire I bank at night
Not the spark but the steady light
No one else keeps me half this warm
You're the reason cold feels right

[Outro]
Morning finds the embers holding still
You're the warmth that never had to try
