Ash Gone Soft
Style: Accordion cradle

[Verse 1]
The fire is folding into a quiet grey heap now
Softly the last of the light starts to fade
You are curled where the warmth still lingers close by
Safe in the hush that the two of us made

[Pre-chorus]
Nothing tonight is asking you to be anywhere else
Every small sound is turning down low and slow
Close your eyes now, let the room hold what it knows

[Chorus]
Gracie, the embers are settling soft into sleep
Nothing will wake what the darkness has kept
Somewhere the last little spark bows its head
Gracie, so gently the whole world has slept

[Verse 2]
Even the iron has stopped humming its low little tune
Shadows are pulling their blankets in tight
You are the warmest thing left in this room
Held here and wanted through all of the night

[Bridge]
Whatever the day carried, let it lie down with the ash
Rest now, there's nothing you need to hold on to

[Chorus]
Gracie, the embers are settling soft into sleep
Nothing will wake what the darkness has kept
Somewhere the last little spark bows its head
Gracie, so gently the whole world has slept

[Outro]
The grate has gone quiet, its glow tucked in grey
Sleep now, my love, till the light finds its way
