Ash Falls Soft
Style: Vibraphone drift

[Verse 1]
Watch the last grey ash go settling down so slow
held behind the iron guard where nothing sharp can reach
Every ember dims to soft the way your breathing goes
and the whole room learns to hush the way you teach

[Pre-chorus]
Nothing here will spark or stir before the morning comes
only warmth that's turning quiet, only shadows kind and slow
so let your eyes grow heavy now, there's nowhere left to go

[Chorus]
Primrose, the fire is folding into rest tonight
and you are held the safest thing that any house can hold
Sleep now the way the embers sleep, without a fight
Primrose, you're the warmth that never turns to cold

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past the grate the whole wide dark is turning soft
curling round the edges of this small and steady room
You are not afraid of it, you never were, not once
because you know this quiet is where you're always safe to bloom

[Chorus]
Primrose, the fire is folding into rest tonight
and you are held the safest thing that any house can hold
Sleep now the way the embers sleep, without a fight
Primrose, you're the warmth that never turns to cold

[Bridge]
Rest is not an ending, only breath that's slowing down
and you are loved as steady as the last log settling low

[Chorus]
Primrose, the fire is folding into rest tonight
and you are held the safest thing that any house can hold
Sleep now the way the embers sleep, without a fight
Primrose, you're the warmth that never turns to cold

[Outro]
The ash lies quiet now behind its iron guard
and you lie just as quiet, just as loved, just as far
