Grey Wood Embers
Style: Acoustic soul

[Verse 1]
Two forks turning slow in the fire
Nothing fancy, that's what we desire
Foil going black in the grey wood heat
You hand me mine and it tastes complete

[Pre-chorus]
No candles, no plans, just this
Just embers dying down to a hiss
But I keep leaning closer still

[Chorus]
Penelope, you're the warmth I trust
Not the flame that flares to dust
You're the low glow that stays and stays
Penelope, through the quietest days

[Verse 2]
Smoke gets into both our eyes
We laugh it off, we don't ask why
Ash on your fingers, ash on mine
This is enough, this is the sign

[Chorus]
Penelope, you're the warmth I trust
Not the flame that flares to dust
You're the low glow that stays and stays
Penelope, through the quietest days

[Bridge]
I've had louder nights than this
Brighter fires I can't recall
This one just sits and holds and holds
This one I'd choose above them all

[Chorus]
Penelope, you're the warmth I trust
Not the flame that flares to dust
You're the low glow that stays and stays
Penelope, through the quietest days

[Outro]
The embers dim but we don't move
Still turning forks, still nothing to prove
