Soft as Ash
Style: Flute and pad

[Verse 1]
Behind the little grate the last light softens down to grey
The fire has grown gentle now and settled in to stay
Everything is hushed and warm inside these walls tonight
Nothing here will move or reach or ever lead you astray

[Pre-chorus]
Watch the small glow breathe and dim behind the guard so slow
There is nowhere safer than this quiet room to be
Let your eyes grow heavy now and let the stillness grow

[Chorus]
Julie, sleep is calling soft and low
You are held here closer than you know
Rest inside the warmth that stays so true
Julie, truly, let the quiet flow

[Verse 2]
The ashes slide so gently down and settle out of sight
Nothing in this house tonight will ever burn too bright
Every corner of this room is wrapped in gentle care
You are tucked in safer than the softest kind of light

[Pre-chorus]
Watch the small glow breathe and dim behind the guard so slow
There is nowhere safer than this quiet room to be
Let your eyes grow heavy now and let the stillness grow

[Chorus]
Julie, sleep is calling soft and low
You are held here closer than you know
Rest inside the warmth that stays so true
Julie, truly, let the quiet flow

[Bridge]
Nothing asks of you tonight but rest and gentle breath
Somebody stays beside you while the dark grows warm and slow

[Chorus]
Julie, sleep is calling soft and low
You are held here closer than you know
Rest inside the warmth that stays so true
Julie, truly, let the quiet flow

[Outro]
The last of the fire settles low and soft behind the guard
Sleep now, Julie, safe and held and warm all through the dark
