Embers Keep Their Colour
Style: Humming choir

[Verse 1]
Ash is turning softer now behind the blackened brick
settling into stillness with no hurry and no trick
somewhere in that quiet warmth a small light holds its place
you are held as gently, safe inside this fading day

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let your breathing slow to match the fire's own
nothing in this room tonight will ever leave you alone
sleep is only drifting closer, wrapped in shades of grey

[Chorus]
Ray, the dark won't ever touch the warmth you carry with you
every ember dims but never really goes away
you are loved beyond the reach of any hour or any name
rest now Ray, there's nothing here that wants you anywhere but stay

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past the window night is folding on itself
curling round the corners like a breath held soft and slow
you don't need to watch it, you can let your eyelids play
closing on the comfort that will still be here to stay

[Chorus]
Ray, the dark won't ever touch the warmth you carry with you
every ember dims but never really goes away
you are loved beyond the reach of any hour or any name
rest now Ray, there's nothing here that wants you anywhere but stay

[Bridge]
Whatever the night is turning into, you don't have to see
sleep is just another way of being kept, being free

[Chorus]
Ray, the dark won't ever touch the warmth you carry with you
every ember dims but never really goes away
you are loved beyond the reach of any hour or any name
rest now Ray, there's nothing here that wants you anywhere but stay

[Outro]
Somewhere the ash keeps glowing long after the flames have gone
so does the love that's holding you gently until the dawn
