Smoke and Slow Light
Style: Soft piano

[Verse 1]
Smoke is climbing slow above the quiet garden ground
Stars are waiting patient for the day to fold away
Somewhere close a small fire keeps its low and steady sound
Nothing here will hurry you, so rest here while you may

[Chorus]
Freddie, close your eyes now, let the dark be soft and kind
Embers glowing gentle while the garden breathes so slow
Freddie, you are held here, safe with everything behind
Sleep is just a warm road and I know the way to go

[Verse 2]
Every worry of the daylight melts like wax against the flame
Nothing waits to trouble you when all the light has gone
You are wrapped in nothing sharper than the sound of your own name
Rest beneath the smoke trail drifting easy and so calm

[Pre-chorus]
Hear the low wood settling, hear it breathe and hush and sigh
Feel the warmth still holding you though morning is far off
Let your small hands loosen now, there's no more need to try

[Chorus]
Freddie, close your eyes now, let the dark be soft and kind
Embers glowing gentle while the garden breathes so slow
Freddie, you are held here, safe with everything behind
Sleep is just a warm road and I know the way to go

[Bridge]
You are loved past counting, steady as the fire's low glow
Even sleeping you are known, even far you're never gone

[Chorus]
Freddie, close your eyes now, let the dark be soft and kind
Embers glowing gentle while the garden breathes so slow
Freddie, you are held here, safe with everything behind
Sleep is just a warm road and I know the way to go

[Outro]
Smoke still climbs so gently while the garden holds its rest
You are safe inside this quiet, you are always loved the best
