White Ash, Gentle Glow
Style: Ambient wash

[Verse 1]
Watch how the fire lets its bright colours go quiet and slow
Nothing tonight needs to hurry or shine or glow
Somewhere beneath the grey there is warmth still holding on
I keep you close while the last of the light turns low

[Pre-chorus]
The coals are banking down beneath the ash so white
Every small sound in the house is folding into night
Rest here beside me now and let the dark be kind

[Chorus]
Gavin, the embers are dimming but never truly gone
Something is always glowing quietly on and on
You are the warmth that stays when everything else grows dim
Sleep now, Gavin, till the morning light comes back to shine

[Verse 2]
The room grows softer as the last flame folds into red
There's nothing waiting out there to lift your sleepy head
I will be here long after the fire has had its say
Rest easy now inside this quiet that we've made

[Bridge]
Under the ash the heart of the fire is beating slow
Just like you, safe and held, however soft you glow

[Chorus]
Gavin, the embers are dimming but never truly gone
Something is always glowing quietly on and on
You are the warmth that stays when everything else grows dim
Sleep now, Gavin, till the morning light comes back to shine

[Outro]
The ash lies soft and pale where the bright flame used to play
You are the warmth I'm keeping until the break of day
