Dust and Firelight
Style: Soft piano

[Verse 1]
Dust is dancing soft beside the old red flue
catching one thin beam that slips in from the night
you are watching it with eyes that blink on cue
waiting for the dark to fold you in from sight

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the little specks of light go slow
let the room grow warm and let your breathing settle
there is nowhere in this world you need to go

[Chorus]
Jace, my love, the whole wide house is holding still
close your eyes and let the quiet take its place
nothing here can touch you, nothing ever will
you are safe, you are held, you are Jace

[Verse 2]
The fire hums low behind the brick and settles down
shadows stretch out gentle on the nursery floor
you curl in close where all the warmth is found
and the night leans in to close the day's last door

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the little specks of light go slow
let the room grow warm and let your breathing settle
there is nowhere in this world you need to go

[Chorus]
Jace, my love, the whole wide house is holding still
close your eyes and let the quiet take its place
nothing here can touch you, nothing ever will
you are safe, you are held, you are Jace

[Bridge]
Sleep is just a small and gentle kind of grace
and you are wrapped in every bit of it tonight
so let the dark come soft around this quiet space
you will wake again inside the morning light

[Chorus]
Jace, my love, the whole wide house is holding still
close your eyes and let the quiet take its place
nothing here can touch you, nothing ever will
you are safe, you are held, you are Jace

[Outro]
The dust still turns so soft beside the old red flue
and I will watch it fall until you're through
