Grey Ash, Soft Light
Style: Harp lullaby

[Verse 1]
The grey ash slides down slowly through the red and fading coals
While the whole small world is quiet, breathing soft around your bed
Every ember dims to whisper as the warm night gently rolls
And I sit here close beside you with my hand upon your head

[Pre-chorus]
The fire is turning gentle, letting go of all its flame
Everything is settling softer, nothing here will cause you harm
So let your eyes grow heavy as I quietly say your name

[Chorus]
Holly, Holly, sleep is calling soft and low
Nothing in this room can touch you, nothing you should fear
Close your eyes and drift on gently where the warm winds blow
Holly, you are held and treasured, you are safe right here

[Verse 2]
The coals keep glowing quiet under all that soft grey ash
Nothing rushes in this stillness, nothing here will ever crash
You are wrapped in every blanket, every hush the night can give
Sleep will carry you so gently, this is how the calm days live

[Bridge]
Rest your small hand on my finger, let the fire hum you down
Nothing waits beyond the window, only stars in velvet gown

[Chorus]
Holly, Holly, sleep is calling soft and low
Nothing in this room can touch you, nothing you should fear
Close your eyes and drift on gently where the warm winds blow
Holly, you are held and treasured, you are safe right here

[Outro]
The ash lies soft and silver where the last light used to glow
Sleep now, Holly, you are cherished, and I will not let you go
