White Wood Falling Soft
Style: Kalimba night

[Verse 1]
The white wood breaks apart so softly behind the iron screen
and you are already halfway into dreaming, warm and still
I hold the quiet close around you like the gentlest scene
and nothing in this room could ever mean you harm or ill

[Chorus]
Mason, the embers are falling so slowly and low
sleep now, the night has gone soft at the edges
close up your eyes, let the last of the light go
you are held here, safe behind all of the hedges

[Verse 2]
The screen holds the fire back gentle, the way I hold you near
every small spark that tumbles down is dimming out to rest
and you don't need to carry one worry or one fear
because you are the warmest thing curled up against my chest

[Pre-chorus]
The ash falls quiet, the room breathes slow and long
nothing tonight will come to find you, nothing could be wrong
so let your small hands loosen, let the hush become a song

[Chorus]
Mason, the embers are falling so slowly and low
sleep now, the night has gone soft at the edges
close up your eyes, let the last of the light go
you are held here, safe behind all of the hedges

[Bridge]
Whatever the dark holds, it cannot reach where you lie
I will keep watching the last of the light for you
you are the reason the whole quiet house won't sigh

[Chorus]
Mason, the embers are falling so slowly and low
sleep now, the night has gone soft at the edges
close up your eyes, let the last of the light go
you are held here, safe behind all of the hedges

[Outro]
The white wood settles to nothing behind the old screen
and you sleep on, held closer than anything has ever been
