Soot and Embers
Style: Harp lullaby

[Verse 1]
Soot is falling slow onto the rug by the fire
and the orange in the embers starts to dim and to tire
you are curled up warm where the quiet loves to stay
sleep is calling soft, it will take you where you desire

[Pre-chorus]
Watch the last small sparks give up their glow so gently
hear how still the room has grown around you now
let your breathing follow down to where the dark is kind

[Chorus]
Hunter, hush now, let the night be your fronter
close your eyes and rest, you are no lonely punter
sleep is a hearth where you are always welcome
stay here with me, my steady little grunter

[Verse 2]
Grey is coming gentle where the orange used to burn
and the rug below you holds the warmth it wants to earn
you are safe inside this hush that wraps around the room
nothing here will wake you until the light returns

[Pre-chorus]
Watch the last small sparks give up their glow so gently
hear how still the room has grown around you now
let your breathing follow down to where the dark is kind

[Chorus]
Hunter, hush now, let the night be your fronter
close your eyes and rest, you are no lonely punter
sleep is a hearth where you are always welcome
stay here with me, my steady little grunter

[Bridge]
Every ember fading only makes more room for dreaming
and you are held here closer than the warmth was ever keeping

[Chorus]
Hunter, hush now, let the night be your fronter
close your eyes and rest, you are no lonely punter
sleep is a hearth where you are always welcome
stay here with me, my steady little grunter

[Outro]
Soot has settled softly where the fire once was burning
and you are safe till morning, and the morning will come turning
