Soot on the Hearth Stones
Style: Humming choir

[Verse 1]
Soot comes tumbling soft onto the warm hearth stones tonight
branches tap the glass like they are asking to come in
hush now, nothing out there means you any harm
you are held so close and warm inside this quiet light

[Chorus]
Sadie, Sadie, close your eyes and drift away
every little sound out there is only wind at play
maybe dreams are waiting just behind that shady door
Sadie, you are safe here till the break of day

[Verse 2]
Embers glow so gentle where the soot has settled down
warmth is curling round you like a blanket made of light
nothing in this whole wide house would ever wish you ill
you can let the day go now and set your worries down

[Pre-chorus]
Listen how the branches tap so soft against the pane
they are only saying goodnight, nothing more than that
and sleep is creeping closer now, so warm, so near again

[Chorus]
Sadie, Sadie, close your eyes and drift away
every little sound out there is only wind at play
maybe dreams are waiting just behind that shady door
Sadie, you are safe here till the break of day

[Bridge]
Soot will settle, branches still, the whole world softening down
and you are the reason this house feels warm at all

[Chorus]
Sadie, Sadie, close your eyes and drift away
every little sound out there is only wind at play
maybe dreams are waiting just behind that shady door
Sadie, you are safe here till the break of day

[Outro]
Soot lies still upon the stones, the branches quiet now
sleep well, little Sadie, you are held here, safe somehow
