Dust settles soft on the barstools now Beside a crate that stands empty and worn But nobody here forgets your name You lit this place before you were born

Outro

That empty crate won't stay so bare We're filling this room with love for you, Bernard

Verse 1

Muddy boots left drying by the door I never asked you to be neat You tracked the whole world in before And still I loved the mess you'd leave

Pre-chorus

I used to keep my doors shut tight Kept the porch light low and dim Then you walked in from the rain one night

Chorus

Bernard, you're the one I let inside Not just the house, but past my guard Nothing about you left me starred Bernard, you stayed when you could've lied

Verse 2

The door still hangs there, half open wide Like it's waiting on your next return I don't fix things I don't mind There's a warmth in what we've earned

Bridge

I'm not one for saying much out loud But I keep the porch light on for you Every quiet night, every crowd You're the steady thing I lean into

Chorus

Bernard, you're the one I let inside Not just the house, but past my guard Nothing about you left me starred Bernard, you stayed when you could've lied

Outro

The boots are drying by the door I'm not closing it anymore

Verse 1

Dry grass bending where we stand Two pairs of socks, your steady hand You never rush to say a word But I feel loved, I feel heard

Pre-chorus

You keep your love in simple things In quiet mornings, what it brings I feel the weight of what's in store

Chorus

Bernard, you hold me soft and hard Like something guarded in a yard No one else has loved this way Steady as the end of day

Verse 2

You don't dress it up in art Just show me plainly where you start No performance, no big scene Just you, and what your hands have seen

Chorus

Bernard, you hold me soft and hard Like something guarded in a yard No one else has loved this way Steady as the end of day

Bridge

I don't need the grand or loud Just you, unhurried, unbowed This is enough, this is the whole

Chorus

Bernard, you hold me soft and hard Like something guarded in a yard No one else has loved this way Steady as the end of day

Outro

The grass still bends where we once stood You loved me plainly, and it was good

Verse 1

Salt is drying on the pebbles now The bucket's tipped, nobody minds how Some things just settle where they land Like the way I ended up with you

Pre-chorus

I used to think love had to shout But you showed me the quiet route Now every simple thing you do

Chorus

Bernard, you're the calm I didn't plan No performance, just a steady hand Bernard, when the noise clears out You're the one thing I'm still sure about

Verse 2

You don't need the tide to prove it's there You just stay, however I compare No grand gestures, nothing hard to guard Just you, plain and never far

Chorus

Bernard, you're the calm I didn't plan No performance, just a steady hand Bernard, when the noise clears out You're the one thing I'm still sure about

Bridge

Some loves crash and some loves stay Mine just settles, day by day You are not a passing spark You're the ground I'm standing on

Chorus

Bernard, you're the calm I didn't plan No performance, just a steady hand Bernard, when the noise clears out You're the one thing I'm still sure about

Outro

The salt stays long after the water's gone And so do you, Bernard, so do you

Verse 1

The lamp burns low and paints the room in honey Little shadows drift and turn above your head Something small and winged keeps watch beside your window You are held so gently here, tucked into bed

Pre-chorus

Every soft thing in this room is turning slower The light is holding steady just for you Close your eyes now, let the warmth come nearer

Chorus

Sleep now, Bernard, safe within the glow Nothing here will ever leave you scarred You are the light that all the shadows follow Rest easy, Bernard, you are always guarded

Verse 2

The moths keep circling slow around the amber They never touch, they only drift and glide Just like them, love keeps quietly turning toward you Around you always, never far outside

Pre-chorus

Every soft thing in this room is turning slower The light is holding steady just for you Close your eyes now, let the warmth come nearer

Chorus

Sleep now, Bernard, safe within the glow Nothing here will ever leave you scarred You are the light that all the shadows follow Rest easy, Bernard, you are always guarded

Bridge

Long shadows lean but never fall upon you Nothing in this dark will ever break your calm

Chorus

Sleep now, Bernard, safe within the glow Nothing here will ever leave you scarred You are the light that all the shadows follow Rest easy, Bernard, you are always guarded

Outro

The little light still hums above your pillow Sleep now, Bernard, gently, you are loved

Verse 1

Somewhere a rope leans soft against the pine so worn and warm and out beyond it ripples spread and fade before the storm but here inside these walls no ripple ever needs to run because you're held and safe now, little one, the day is done

Chorus

Bernard, close your eyes now, let the hours grow still and slow Bernard, you are steady even when the wide world starts to blow nothing here will shake you, nothing here will pull you far you are so beloved, you are held just as you are

Verse 2

The water settles quiet once the little boat has come to rest and you can settle quiet too, with sleep as your soft guest no need to watch the ripple, no need to count it twice just know that you are cherished, wrapped in warmth and wrapped in light

Pre-chorus

Hush now, let your breathing find the rhythm of the tide feel how gently everything is rocking side to side and know that you are wanted here, whatever comes to hide

Chorus

Bernard, close your eyes now, let the hours grow still and slow Bernard, you are steady even when the wide world starts to blow nothing here will shake you, nothing here will pull you far you are so beloved, you are held just as you are

Bridge

Every ripple settles somewhere calm before it's gone and every worry you might carry won't be carried long

Chorus

Bernard, close your eyes now, let the hours grow still and slow Bernard, you are steady even when the wide world starts to blow nothing here will shake you, nothing here will pull you far you are so beloved, you are held just as you are

Outro

Sleep now while the rope hangs still against the quiet pine rest now knowing you are loved, and always will be mine

Verse 1

Rain is tapping soft against the frosted window pane Nothing in the night tonight will ever cause you harm Every gentle drop is falling easy like a low refrain Rest inside the quiet, you are wrapped up safe and warm

Pre-chorus

Hush now, let the evening settle slow around your bed Nothing needs to hurry, nothing needs to be explained Close your eyes and let the soft dark gather overhead

Chorus

Bernard, sleep is calling gentle, you don't need to be on guard Nothing here will trouble you, no reason to feel scarred Every star above is watching, quiet like a lucky card You are held here safely, Bernard, closer than a locked back yard

Verse 2

The old red leather chair sits waiting, patient in the glow Nobody needs to hurry you from where you're tucked in tight Let your breathing slow to match the way the rain falls low You are so completely loved on this and every night

Bridge

Whatever waits beyond tomorrow can wait a little more There's nothing you should carry now, just drift and let it go

Chorus

Bernard, sleep is calling gentle, you don't need to be on guard Nothing here will trouble you, no reason to feel scarred Every star above is watching, quiet like a lucky card You are held here safely, Bernard, closer than a locked back yard

Outro

The rain is softer now, still tapping at the frosted glass Sleep on, you are so cherished, and the quiet night will pass
