Soft as Falling Soot
Style: Soft piano

[Verse 1]
The grate breathes low and the room fills up with amber light
Soot slides so gently down the old red brick tonight
You watch it drift the way your eyes now start to close
Nothing in this house is stronger than this repose

[Pre-chorus]
Outside the wind is only humming, nothing more
Every corner of this home has locked its door
So let the warmth pull you where you're needed for

[Chorus]
Rhiannon, hush now, let the fire keep its glow
Sleep finds you gently, softer than the falling snow
Rhiannon, nothing here will ever cause you harm
Rest inside the quiet of this house so warm

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past the chimney stars are settling in place
Held the way this whole small room is holding your face
Your breathing slows to match the embers' quiet beat
Sleep is only kindness wrapping round your feet

[Bridge]
Little sounds are all that's left now, soft and few
A hush that only wants to keep on holding you
Nothing asks you anything, there's nowhere to be
Just this warm and settling, endless, gentle sea

[Chorus]
Rhiannon, hush now, let the fire keep its glow
Sleep finds you gently, softer than the falling snow
Rhiannon, nothing here will ever cause you harm
Rest inside the quiet of this house so warm

[Outro]
The soot has settled soft along the old red flue
And the whole house breathes its quiet, keeping watch on you
