Coals Gone Quiet
Style: Soft piano

[Verse 1]
Somewhere the last of the coals are turning grey and soft
the kettle above them has finally gone to rest
this house is folding itself down slow, like a held breath let loose
and everything quiet in it belongs to you the best

[Pre-chorus]
Nothing needs tending now, the fire has had its say
the copper cools, the whole room learns to lean
and this is the hour that carries you away

[Chorus]
Eden, the warmth is staying right here with you tonight
the stove breathes low, the dark won't ask you a thing
sleep can come easy now, there's nothing left to fight
Eden, you're held here safer than anything

[Verse 2]
Once these coals burned orange enough to light the whole room red
now they're only glowing soft beneath the settling grate
you don't need the blaze to know that you are kept and fed
this kind of gentle heat was always going to be your fate

[Chorus]
Eden, the warmth is staying right here with you tonight
the stove breathes low, the dark won't ask you a thing
sleep can come easy now, there's nothing left to fight
Eden, you're held here safer than anything

[Bridge]
Let your small hands go loose and still
there's no hour left that you must climb
the kettle keeps its silence at the sill
and you can rest inside this quiet time

[Chorus]
Eden, the warmth is staying right here with you tonight
the stove breathes low, the dark won't ask you a thing
sleep can come easy now, there's nothing left to fight
Eden, you're held here safer than anything

[Outro]
Somewhere the coals have turned to ash and gone to sleep
and you are held as gently as the warmth they used to keep
