Last Ember
Style: Music box

[Verse 1]
The fire has burned down low and soft and small tonight
One grey cinder glowing there, holding its last light
It does not fear the dark that settles all around
You are held the same way, safe and gently found

[Pre-chorus]
Watch how slowly, slowly, that small light lets go
Nothing rushes here, love, everything moves slow
And the hush is calling you to close your eyes now

[Chorus]
Vincent, the night is wide but you are small and warm
Nothing here can touch you, nothing brings you harm
Vincent, sleep is coming soft as ashes going grey
Let the whole wide dark just carry you away

[Verse 2]
The hearth breathes out its warmth until the warmth is thin
Still the room remembers every fire that has been
So you will carry morning even in the coldest hour
Held inside you always, quiet as a flower

[Bridge]
Even when the light goes down to nothing you can see
Something keeps on glowing underneath so patiently
That is how you're loved, love, long after the flame is gone

[Chorus]
Vincent, the night is wide but you are small and warm
Nothing here can touch you, nothing brings you harm
Vincent, sleep is coming soft as ashes going grey
Let the whole wide dark just carry you away

[Outro]
The last small cinder cools and settles into rest
You are the warmth that stays, tucked gently in your nest
