Embers Low
Style: Gentle acoustic

[Verse 1]
The fire is settling soft into its bed of grey
your eyelids are heavy, so heavy, at the close of day
warmth is still holding you deep in this room
safe as the embers that glow in the gloom

[Pre-chorus]
Quiet is folding itself around this little space
stillness is spreading its hush through the place
hold on to my hand as the light starts to dim

[Chorus]
Fatima, sleep now, the night is holding you tight
curled up so gentle beneath the fading light
nothing can reach you, nothing can harm
Fatima, rest here, all wrapped up and warm

[Verse 2]
Somewhere the ash is drifting down slow through the bars
falling as quiet as shadows, as soft as far stars
you are the warmth that outlasts the flame
you are the reason this stillness has a name

[Chorus]
Fatima, sleep now, the night is holding you tight
curled up so gentle beneath the fading light
nothing can reach you, nothing can harm
Fatima, rest here, all wrapped up and warm

[Bridge]
Breathe slow, let the last of the glow sink low
there is nowhere safer than here, nowhere to go

[Chorus]
Fatima, sleep now, the night is holding you tight
curled up so gentle beneath the fading light
nothing can reach you, nothing can harm
Fatima, rest here, all wrapped up and warm

[Outro]
The fire has dimmed now to embers soft and low
you are still glowing, wherever you go
