  Verse 1

  Soft as wax that pools and settles into quiet, warm and slow You are curling into stillness while the dark begins to bend Every worry of the daylight has somewhere safe to go Close your eyes, my little Ember, let the soft night be your friend

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, let the glow around you finally start to fold Nothing here will hurry past you, nothing here turns cold I am staying till you're drifting, till the story's told

  Chorus

  Ember, Ember, sleep is calling soft and slender through the air You are held here, you are gentle, you are tender everywhere Ember, Ember, dreams are pooling low and warm without a care Rest inside the light that loves you, safe and known and always there

  Verse 2

  Wick and wax both lean together, never asking to be seen Even quiet things are precious, even small lights hold their ground You don't have to shine for anyone to know how loved you've been In this hush you are the warmest, softest thing that can be found

  Bridge

  Let the evening wrap around you slow as candlelight can fall Nothing asks you to remember, nothing asks you to surrender all

  Chorus

  Ember, Ember, sleep is calling soft and slender through the air You are held here, you are gentle, you are tender everywhere Ember, Ember, dreams are pooling low and warm without a care Rest inside the light that loves you, safe and known and always there

  Outro

  Melt into the quiet like the wax that pools below the flame Sleep now, little Ember, you will wake up loved the same

  Verse 1

  The green leaves are rustling so softly beyond your window tonight Cool and damp is the air that comes drifting in with the light Nothing out there can reach you, nothing at all You are held here so closely, you are wrapped up so tight

  Pre-chorus

  Let the hush of the vine leaves carry you low and slow Let your breathing grow easy as the night begins to grow Close your eyes now, my darling, there's nowhere else to go

  Chorus

  Ember, the dark is gentle when you are here with me Warm as a low flame burning quiet as it can be Ember, I will remember every hour of this September Nothing will touch you softer than the love that lets you be

  Verse 2

  Somewhere the vines are curling round the fence in the cool night air Nothing is asking for you now, there is no need to be anywhere Only the rain on the window, only my hand in yours Only this quiet room and the sound of you breathing there

  Pre-chorus

  Let the hush of the vine leaves carry you low and slow Let your breathing grow easy as the night begins to grow Close your eyes now, my darling, there's nowhere else to go

  Chorus

  Ember, the dark is gentle when you are here with me Warm as a low flame burning quiet as it can be Ember, I will remember every hour of this September Nothing will touch you softer than the love that lets you be

  Bridge

  Sleep now, and let the whole wide night turn slender and small Nothing can find you here, nothing at all

  Chorus

  Ember, the dark is gentle when you are here with me Warm as a low flame burning quiet as it can be Ember, I will remember every hour of this September Nothing will touch you softer than the love that lets you be

  Outro

  The leaves outside are settling, and so, my love, are you Sleep now in the green dark, held safe the whole night through

  Verse 1

  Dust is falling slow through the stripe of evening light Turning without hurry as it settles on the floor You are watching it with eyes that soon will close tonight Safe inside this quiet, you could not want for more

  Chorus

  Ember, Ember, glowing soft and low Warm as candlelight, the gentlest of the year Ember, hold this stillness before you go Sleep is close and so am I, my dear

  Verse 2

  Every little breath you take is steady as the dust Falling through the gold that spills across the room You are held here safely, you are someone I can trust To carry sweetly into sleep and all its gentle bloom

  Pre-chorus

  The light is nearly gone now, sinking soft and slow Your eyes are growing heavy, your small hand loosens too There is nowhere safer than this room I know

  Chorus

  Ember, Ember, glowing soft and low Warm as candlelight, the gentlest of the year Ember, hold this stillness before you go Sleep is close and so am I, my dear

  Bridge

  Rest now in the hush that gathers round your bed Nothing in this darkness means you any harm

  Chorus

  Ember, Ember, glowing soft and low Warm as candlelight, the gentlest of the year Ember, hold this stillness before you go Sleep is close and so am I, my dear

  Outro

  The dust has settled now and left the room in peace You are held so gently, let your dreaming never cease
