Soot and Smoke
Style: Rocking chair waltz

[Verse 1]
Soot is falling soft into the grate tonight
The pipe above is humming its low tune
You are curled up warm inside the fire's light
Safe as starlight held beneath the moon

[Pre-chorus]
The room is breathing slow around your head
Every shadow settling kind and mild
So let the hum become your gentle bed

[Chorus]
Kyle, the whole wide house is holding still for you
Nothing in the dark can travel one small mile
Every little sound tonight is turning true
Sleep now, Kyle, and wear the night's soft smile

[Verse 2]
The embers glow the way your small heart glows
Quiet in the corner, steady, unafraid
You are the warmest thing this old room knows
Wrapped in every comfort that we've made

[Pre-chorus]
The room is breathing slow around your head
Every shadow settling kind and mild
So let the hum become your gentle bed

[Chorus]
Kyle, the whole wide house is holding still for you
Nothing in the dark can travel one small mile
Every little sound tonight is turning true
Sleep now, Kyle, and wear the night's soft smile

[Bridge]
Rest your worries down beside the fire's low glow
There is nothing here that means to test or trial
Every breath you take is soft and slow

[Chorus]
Kyle, the whole wide house is holding still for you
Nothing in the dark can travel one small mile
Every little sound tonight is turning true
Sleep now, Kyle, and wear the night's soft smile

[Outro]
The soot has settled soft and the pipe has gone quiet
You are held here safely till morning's first light
