Sparks Go Quiet
Style: Flute and pad

[Verse 1]
The little sparks are climbing up the dark and old brick flue
Softly now they whistle, softer than they ever knew
One by one they fade into the quiet and the blue
And I am here beside you, watching over you

[Pre-chorus]
The fire is turning gentle, letting go of all its heat
Everything is settling into something slow and sweet
Close your eyes, my darling, let the whole wide world retreat

[Chorus]
Raymond, the ashes are turning to grey
Soft as a blanket, they're keeping the day
Nothing can touch you, no shadow can stay
Raymond, I'll love you the same every way

[Verse 2]
Behind the iron bars the embers shift and breathe so slow
Like something old and tired that finally lets its worry go
The warmth is holding steady though the flames have lost their glow
And you are safe here always, that's the only thing I know

[Chorus]
Raymond, the ashes are turning to grey
Soft as a blanket, they're keeping the day
Nothing can touch you, no shadow can stay
Raymond, I'll love you the same every way

[Bridge]
Sleep now while the last spark climbs and disappears from sight
Nothing in this house will ever let you down tonight

[Chorus]
Raymond, the ashes are turning to grey
Soft as a blanket, they're keeping the day
Nothing can touch you, no shadow can stay
Raymond, I'll love you the same every way

[Outro]
The fire has gone quiet, but its warmth is in the room
And you will carry that same glow through every kind of gloom
