Ash and Ember
Style: Ambient wash

[Verse 1]
Grey ash is falling soft over embers turning to rest
Warmth still hums low in the stone where the fire burned best
Nothing tonight has to hurry, nothing has to be strong
You are held here like the glow that the dark cannot test

[Pre-chorus]
Brass is cooling slow by the grate where the small light bends
Quiet is closing its hand round the day as it ends
Somewhere beneath all that hush, your breathing is starting to slow

[Chorus]
Solomon, sleep while the embers turn grey in the night
Nobody's counting the hours, there's no need to fight
You are the warmth that stays after all the flames are gone
Solomon, rest, you were always the column of light

[Verse 2]
Somewhere a fender is cooling from red into something calm
Sleep moves the same way, so easy, so slow, like a psalm
Nothing will ask you for answers, nothing will ask you to run
You're safe in the hush that is holding you soft as a palm

[Bridge]
Let the last small spark go quiet, let your shoulders fall
There's nothing to hold onto now but the dark and my call

[Chorus]
Solomon, sleep while the embers turn grey in the night
Nobody's counting the hours, there's no need to fight
You are the warmth that stays after all the flames are gone
Solomon, rest, you were always the column of light

[Outro]
Ash settles soft where the embers were burning so bright
Sleep now, the warmth stays with you through the whole quiet night
