[Verse] Quiet night, the rain’s a steady drum Flicker of the fire where the shadows come Old hands trace the lines of time gone by Whispers wrapped in smoke that rise [Pre-Chorus] Every tale a thread in the dark Carved into the silence, sparks [Chorus] By the stove, the stories glow In the blackout’s gentle hold Hear the past in ember’s light With you here, the world feels right By the stove, the stories glow In the blackout’s gentle hold [Verse] Cracks and pops, the rhythm slow and deep Voices fold into the night as we keep Every secret wrapped in warmth and flame Carried softly in his name [Pre-Chorus] Every breath a bridge to then Living in the quiet when [Chorus] By the stove, the stories glow In the blackout’s gentle hold Hear the past in ember’s light With you here, the world feels right By the stove, the stories glow In the blackout’s gentle hold [Bridge] Rain’s quiet hands on windowpane Memories fall like gentle rain In this dark, we find our light A grandfather’s voice through night [Chorus] By the stove, the stories glow In the blackout’s gentle hold Hear the past in ember’s light With you here, the world feels right By the stove, the stories glow In the blackout’s gentle hold [Outro] Soft and slow, the fire dies But in my heart, the story lies By the stove, the stories glow In the blackout’s gentle hold
