Close to the Embers
Style: Soul waltz

[Verse 1]
Socks on the stones by the fire
Turning to white from grey
I keep the small things near me
The way you keep me safe on

[Chorus]
Grayson, you settle every room
Two names but the warmth stays on
Nothing about you is loud
Still I would choose your face on

[Verse 2]
The embers don't need tending now
They hold their heat till morning
Same as the way you love me
No warning, no performing

[Pre-chorus]
I've watched a lot of fires die
But you're the one that stays on
I'm not done loving you yet

[Chorus]
Grayson, you settle every room
Two names but the warmth stays on
Nothing about you is loud
Still I would choose your face on

[Bridge]
Some loves burn and then they're gone
Some just keep going, quiet
Yours is the second kind
And I am glad to try it

[Chorus]
Grayson, you settle every room
Two names but the warmth stays on
Nothing about you is loud
Still I would choose your face on

[Outro]
The socks are dry, the stones are cold
But you are the warmth that stays on
