Embers for Theodore
Style: Music box

[Verse 1]
The fire is sinking low and softly turning into ember light
folding in on itself like something holding on so tight
nothing left to crackle, only warmth that stays
and you are wrapped inside it, safe and out of sight

[Chorus]
Theodore, the whole house breathes slower now that you're asleep
close your eyes, my love, there's nothing here to keep
just the hush and the low light burning down to gold
Theodore, this quiet's yours to have and yours to keep

[Verse 2]
Somewhere in the ash a small light keeps on holding steady
watching over you the way it always has, already
it doesn't need to blaze to prove that it still cares
it just stays lit and low, patient and ready

[Pre-chorus]
Let the last of the warmth settle soft across the floor
let your breathing slow to match what's burning at the door
there's nothing in this dark that you should wait up for

[Chorus]
Theodore, the whole house breathes slower now that you're asleep
close your eyes, my love, there's nothing here to keep
just the hush and the low light burning down to gold
Theodore, this quiet's yours to have and yours to keep

[Bridge]
Even when the flame is gone the warmth will linger on
held here in the room until the darkest hour has flown
you were loved before the fire, you'll be loved when it is gone

[Chorus]
Theodore, the whole house breathes slower now that you're asleep
close your eyes, my love, there's nothing here to keep
just the hush and the low light burning down to gold
Theodore, this quiet's yours to have and yours to keep

[Outro]
The embers will keep glowing long after you have gone to sleep
watching over you so gently, quiet, low and deep
