The Curtain's Breath
Style: Clarinet nightlight

[Verse 1]
The lace is breathing slowly by the window, soft and slow
You settle deeper into pillows warm against the chill
A whisper of the evening air moves quiet as it goes
The whole wide dark out there has come to hold you still

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes and let the hours grow long and kind
Every breath you take is folding into rest
Sleep is waiting gently just behind your mind

[Chorus]
Ernest, the night has wrapped its arms around your bed
Nobody could love you more than you are loved right now
Rest easy, little Ernest, rest your sleepy head
This quiet house will keep you safe, I promise you somehow

[Verse 2]
The window holds the moonlight like a secret it will keep
You curl beneath the blankets like a seed beneath the ground
Somewhere far beyond these walls the world has gone to sleep
But here inside this small room, only peace can be found

[Bridge]
Let the curtain sway you gently into dreaming
Nothing out there needs your worry anymore

[Chorus]
Ernest, the night has wrapped its arms around your bed
Nobody could love you more than you are loved right now
Rest easy, little Ernest, rest your sleepy head
This quiet house will keep you safe, I promise you somehow

[Outro]
The lace still moves so softly where the window meets the dark
And you are held here always, little steady, quiet spark
