Ash and Ember
Style: Clarinet nightlight

[Verse 1]
Behind the guard the fire is settling low and slow tonight
curling into softer greys as if it's saying goodnight too
every little sound has folded into quiet now
and you are wrapped in warmth that's yours to keep, my Wesley

[Pre-chorus]
Watch how gently colours fade to nothing you need fear
embers dimming down to whispers, sinking soft and near
so let your breathing slow to match the calm that's drawing close

[Chorus]
Wesley, hush now, let the glow go quiet in its keeping
close your eyes and drift where all the dark is only sleeping
nothing here will stir before the morning comes to find you
Wesley, rest, you're held here safer than the best of me

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past the guard the last light folds and settles down
you don't need to watch it, you can let your eyelids close
warmth still lingers even when the flame has gone to rest
and that same warmth is wrapped around you, holding steady

[Bridge]
Sleep can be as slow and grey as ashes falling still
no one asks you to be anything but soft and warm tonight

[Chorus]
Wesley, hush now, let the glow go quiet in its keeping
close your eyes and drift where all the dark is only sleeping
nothing here will stir before the morning comes to find you
Wesley, rest, you're held here safer than the best of me

[Outro]
Somewhere the last ash settles soft and grey behind the guard
and you are sleeping warm, exactly where you're meant to be
