Wet Ash
Style: Jazz standard

[Verse 1]
The fire's almost done for the night
But I don't want to leave your side
You lean in closer to the glow
There's no place else I'd rather go

[Pre-chorus]
The smoke goes up and disappears
But something stays when you are near
I feel it building, and I'm sure

[Chorus]
Mira, you make the whole world clearer
Nothing's louder, nothing's nearer
However long this fire lasts
I'll keep you warmer than the ash

[Verse 2]
Wet ash falls slow on charred wood
You watch it settle, and it's good
I like the way you hold the quiet
You never have to try to buy it

[Chorus]
Mira, you make the whole world clearer
Nothing's louder, nothing's nearer
However long this fire lasts
I'll keep you warmer than the ash

[Bridge]
Some loves burn fast and bright and gone
Ours just keeps on going on
Slow coals under a grey skin
Still enough heat to pull me in

[Chorus]
Mira, you make the whole world clearer
Nothing's louder, nothing's nearer
However long this fire lasts
I'll keep you warmer than the ash

[Outro]
The fire's almost out, and still
I'd sit here with you if you will
