Ash Going Up
Style: Blues slow dance

[Verse 1]
I split the birch to keep us warm
You watch the sparks like they mean no harm
I feel the heat before I feel the chill
And I keep it burning just for you, Lucille

[Pre-chorus]
Smoke climbs slow but it climbs true
Same way my heart keeps rising up to you
Watch it lean into the dark

[Chorus]
Lucille, you're the reason I don't go still
You're the warmth I never had to build
Ash goes up and doesn't fall
Lucille, my quiet love, until

[Verse 2]
The fire burns down but never leaves
I hold what's left the way a hand receives
You're steady where the wind is never still
And I don't need more than what you fulfil

[Pre-chorus]
Smoke climbs slow but it climbs true
Same way my heart keeps rising up to you
Watch it lean into the dark

[Chorus]
Lucille, you're the reason I don't go still
You're the warmth I never had to build
Ash goes up and doesn't fall
Lucille, my quiet love, until

[Bridge]
No need to chase the flame tonight
Just you, this glow, this quiet light
Nothing here I'd want conceal
Just what I feel for you, Lucille

[Chorus]
Lucille, you're the reason I don't go still
You're the warmth I never had to build
Ash goes up and doesn't fall
Lucille, my quiet love, until

[Outro]
The logs turn grey but keep their glow
That's how I love you, soft and slow
