Ash and Ember
Style: Vibraphone drift

[Verse 1]
The fire is breathing slower now, soft and low and small
Grey ash falls like feathers down around the glowing bed
Nothing in this room will ever let you slip or fall
There is a warm and steady place to lay your head

[Pre-chorus]
Watch how gently every ember learns to dim and rest
Nothing needs to hurry now, nothing needs to grow
Close your eyes and let the quiet carry what is best

[Chorus]
Kit, the whole wide dark is holding you so near
Nothing in the shadows means a single thing to fear
Kit, you are the warmest light that this house will ever hold
Sleep now while the embers turn to soft and sleepy gold

[Verse 2]
The last small flame is curling into orange, then to grey
Everything is settling the way it always will
Your breathing finds the same slow rhythm as the fading day
And every worried thought of mine goes quiet and goes still

[Chorus]
Kit, the whole wide dark is holding you so near
Nothing in the shadows means a single thing to fear
Kit, you are the warmest light that this house will ever hold
Sleep now while the embers turn to soft and sleepy gold

[Bridge]
Somewhere deep beneath the ash the warmth is holding on
It will still be there for you when morning comes along

[Chorus]
Kit, the whole wide dark is holding you so near
Nothing in the shadows means a single thing to fear
Kit, you are the warmest light that this house will ever hold
Sleep now while the embers turn to soft and sleepy gold

[Outro]
The ash lies soft and quiet over embers turning grey
Sleep now, little one, and drift as gently as the day
