Cat by the Hearth

[Verse – soft + warm] The fire's glow is dancing on whiskers soft and slow A quiet little heartbeat in the ember’s gentle flow A tiny paw is twitching as if she roams the skies chasing gentle sparks of light [Pre-Chorus – airy] In the hush of a winter night warmth wraps her like a dream [Chorus – dreamy, soothing] Cat by the hearth, so calm, so still Wrapped in a world where time stands still Soft glowing light in amber gold Safe from the frost, safe from the cold [Bridge – warm + floating] And if the night grows colder, the flames will guard her still— a tiny world of glowing peace that only she can feel. [Verse – soft guitar] Her tail curls like a ribbon around her resting paws She blinks at drifting shadows with slow contented thoughts The wood sighs in the silence and through the golden haze she breathes a quiet melody [Pre-Chorus] Every spark that floats above paints stories in her sleep [Chorus] Cat by the hearth, so calm, so still Wrapped in a world where time stands still Soft glowing light in amber gold Safe from the frost, safe from the cold [Outro – very soft] And in the quiet firelight she dreams the world away tonight
