Soot and Embers
Style: Ambient wash

[Verse 1]
Soot comes tumbling soft down the old red flue tonight
settling slow where the last of the embers glow their light
and you are curled where the quiet holds you warm and deep
safe in the hush that is carrying you to sleep

[Pre-chorus]
Outside the wind is turning gentle circles round the house
the fire breathes low, no louder than a mouse
and everything is leaning in to keep you held and near

[Chorus]
Felix, the night has folded soft around your bed
every worry of the day has quietly fled
Felix, you are loved more than words could ever say
rest now, and let the dark carry you away

[Verse 2]
The ashes settle grey and light where the flames once played
and the whole small room grows warm in the dark they made
you don't need to know how far the morning waits to come
just that you are held, and safe, and loved by someone

[Chorus]
Felix, the night has folded soft around your bed
every worry of the day has quietly fled
Felix, you are loved more than words could ever say
rest now, and let the dark carry you away

[Bridge]
Sleep now, nothing here can come to trouble you
the embers glow the way that steady love does too

[Chorus]
Felix, the night has folded soft around your bed
every worry of the day has quietly fled
Felix, you are loved more than words could ever say
rest now, and let the dark carry you away

[Outro]
The soot lies still and soft where the fire has said goodnight
and you are wrapped in warmth until the morning light
