Little Ember, Drift to Sleep
Style: Accordion cradle

[Verse 1]
Dust is falling slow through the stripe of evening light
Turning without hurry as it settles on the floor
You are watching it with eyes that soon will close tonight
Safe inside this quiet, you could not want for more

[Chorus]
Ember, Ember, glowing soft and low
Warm as candlelight, the gentlest of the year
Ember, hold this stillness before you go
Sleep is close and so am I, my dear

[Verse 2]
Every little breath you take is steady as the dust
Falling through the gold that spills across the room
You are held here safely, you are someone I can trust
To carry sweetly into sleep and all its gentle bloom

[Pre-chorus]
The light is nearly gone now, sinking soft and slow
Your eyes are growing heavy, your small hand loosens too
There is nowhere safer than this room I know

[Chorus]
Ember, Ember, glowing soft and low
Warm as candlelight, the gentlest of the year
Ember, hold this stillness before you go
Sleep is close and so am I, my dear

[Bridge]
Rest now in the hush that gathers round your bed
Nothing in this darkness means you any harm

[Chorus]
Ember, Ember, glowing soft and low
Warm as candlelight, the gentlest of the year
Ember, hold this stillness before you go
Sleep is close and so am I, my dear

[Outro]
The dust has settled now and left the room in peace
You are held so gently, let your dreaming never cease
