Soot and Ember
Style: Glockenspiel

[Verse 1]
Soot is falling slow behind the old dark iron grate
Settling like a hush across the red brick floor
Every little sound tonight can simply wait
You are the reason I keep watching by this door

[Pre-chorus]
The embers dim to orange while the room breathes low and slow
Nothing in this house is asking you to grow
I will stay right here until your eyes let go

[Chorus]
Lorenzo, the fire is turning gold to grey
Nothing here will ever call you far away
Lorenzo, I will watch the light till it's gone away
Safe inside this quiet where the shadows softly sway

[Verse 2]
The grate holds all its heat like something meant to keep
One small spark still glowing where the ashes creep
You are curled up warm and halfway into sleep
While the whole small room turns gentle, turns deep

[Pre-chorus]
The embers dim to orange while the room breathes low and slow
Nothing in this house is asking you to grow
I will stay right here until your eyes let go

[Chorus]
Lorenzo, the fire is turning gold to grey
Nothing here will ever call you far away
Lorenzo, I will watch the light till it's gone away
Safe inside this quiet where the shadows softly sway

[Bridge]
Even soot falls slowly when it has somewhere warm to land
Even the smallest ember still can light a hand
So let the dark come gently, there is nothing you must do

[Chorus]
Lorenzo, the fire is turning gold to grey
Nothing here will ever call you far away
Lorenzo, I will watch the light till it's gone away
Safe inside this quiet where the shadows softly sway

[Outro]
The grate will hold its warmth till morning comes around
Sleep now, Lorenzo, safe and held and sound
