Ash and Ember
Style: Music box

[Verse 1]
Soft grey ash is falling gently over embers burning red
Warmth is folding round this quiet room like blankets on a bed
Somewhere deep beneath the ashes still a little fire glows
That's the kind of light that lives in you, my little Thiago

[Chorus]
Thiago, hush now, let the evening hold you close and slow
Sleepy eyes are closing soft as embers dimming down below
Thiago, dream a while beneath the gentle hearth's low light
Nothing in this whole wide world can touch you here tonight

[Verse 2]
Every ember settles down the way your breathing settles too
Quiet is the colour of the peace that's wrapping around you
Nothing here will hurry you, no reason left to fight
Rest inside the warmth that's staying with you through the night

[Pre-chorus]
Feel how still the room has grown, how soft the shadows lay
Nothing here will ask you now to keep the dark at bay
Close your eyes and let the warmth come carry you away

[Chorus]
Thiago, hush now, let the evening hold you close and slow
Sleepy eyes are closing soft as embers dimming down below
Thiago, dream a while beneath the gentle hearth's low light
Nothing in this whole wide world can touch you here tonight

[Bridge]
Long after every ember turns to ash and fades from sight
You will still be held by something warmer than the light
Sleep will keep you safe till morning finds you soft and bright

[Chorus]
Thiago, hush now, let the evening hold you close and slow
Sleepy eyes are closing soft as embers dimming down below
Thiago, dream a while beneath the gentle hearth's low light
Nothing in this whole wide world can touch you here tonight

[Outro]
Grey ash settles soft and quiet over embers turning low
Sleep now, little Thiago, someone's watching as you go
