Grey Ash, Red Ember
Style: Celesta and strings

[Verse 1]
Watch how the fire lets its brightness go so gently now
Grey ash comes down soft as any blanket ever spun
Nothing in this room is asking you for anything tonight
You are held here safer than you know, little one

[Pre-chorus]
Iron tongs are resting quiet by the warm brick wall
Everything that burned today has banked its glow down low
So let your eyes grow heavy as the last light starts to fall

[Chorus]
Silas, the whole house is breathing slow around you now
Nothing in the dark tonight is coming here to try us
Sleep will carry you the way the embers hold their glow
There is nothing waiting out there that could ever harm us, Silas

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past this window all the stars are banking down as well
Every hearth in every house is learning how to rest
You don't need to keep your eyes half open, guarding anything
Let the quiet settle over you, it knows you best

[Bridge]
Hush now, nothing needs your worry, nothing needs your eyes
Even embers trust the ash to tuck them in for good

[Chorus]
Silas, the whole house is breathing slow around you now
Nothing in the dark tonight is coming here to try us
Sleep will carry you the way the embers hold their glow
There is nothing waiting out there that could ever harm us, Silas

[Outro]
Somewhere the ash is settling soft over one last ember
Sleep now, little one, and let the morning do the rest
