Grey Ash, Soft Light
Style: Harp lullaby

[Verse 1]
Grey ash is falling soft over embers burning low tonight
Behind the iron guard everything is settled and it's right
You are wrapped up warm where nothing in the world can reach
Sleep is the only thing that this quiet room will teach

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the fire is dimming down to gold and then to grey
Nothing can slip past the guard to trouble where you lay
Close your eyes and let the last small warmth carry you away

[Chorus]
Miles, my love, the embers glow so soft and low for you
Rest inside the quiet that this gentle house holds true
Miles, you are held closer than the warmth behind the screen
Sleep now in the calmest hush this night has ever seen

[Verse 2]
Watch the last small flicker settle deep into its bed
Nothing sharp or hurried ever touches where you're laid
Every glowing ember dims to something soft and slow
You are safer than the warmth that guard will ever know

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the fire is dimming down to gold and then to grey
Nothing can slip past the guard to trouble where you lay
Close your eyes and let the last small warmth carry you away

[Chorus]
Miles, my love, the embers glow so soft and low for you
Rest inside the quiet that this gentle house holds true
Miles, you are held closer than the warmth behind the screen
Sleep now in the calmest hush this night has ever seen

[Bridge]
Nothing in this room will ever let the cold come near
Even as the light goes low, you have no cause to fear

[Chorus]
Miles, my love, the embers glow so soft and low for you
Rest inside the quiet that this gentle house holds true
Miles, you are held closer than the warmth behind the screen
Sleep now in the calmest hush this night has ever seen

[Outro]
Somewhere the ash is settling, quiet, grey and slow
You are already sleeping where the last light used to glow
