  Verse 1

  Watch how gently the little flame leans and settles down Soft blue thread of light against the dark all around Wax is sliding slow along the candle's warm curled side You are wrapped in something calmer than the quiet night outside

  Pre-chorus

  Every drop falls slower than the one that came before Breathing eases, easing you down to the sleepy floor Close your eyes now, let the hush come drifting through the door

  Chorus

  Earl, my Earl, the whole wide world can wait till morning light Sleep is calling softly, sleep will hold you through the night Nothing here can touch you, nothing here will do you harm Curl in close now, Earl, and rest here safe and warm

  Verse 2

  Somewhere past the window, stars are turning slow and still Nothing needs to hurry, nothing needs your will You can let the whole day empty out and drift away Tucked inside the quiet where the small light starts to sway

  Bridge

  Even when the candle finally flickers out of sight You will still be held here, wrapped in something warm and right

  Chorus

  Earl, my Earl, the whole wide world can wait till morning light Sleep is calling softly, sleep will hold you through the night Nothing here can touch you, nothing here will do you harm Curl in close now, Earl, and rest here safe and warm

  Outro

  Somewhere the last of the wax has come to rest and settled down Sleep now, Earl, and know that you are the safest thing in town

  Verse 1

  Somewhere behind the wooden door a pendulum ticks so slow It keeps the whole dark room afloat while you drift and dream Nothing tonight can reach you here, no need to ever know Only that you are held so close, held safe within this beam

  Pre-chorus

  The ticking hums a gentle song for only you to hear It folds around your sleepy breath and calls the night to lean Closer now, so soft and slow, so warm and always near

  Chorus

  Sleep now, Earl, the dark is kind and holds you like a pearl Every shadow bends to keep you warm here in your world Earl, my quiet, breathing light, you are the calmest curl Of everything I love the most, my soft and steady pearl

  Verse 2

  The cupboard keeps its secret time behind the painted wood Counting hours so you don't have to, counting them for you Nothing in this room will stir, nothing that shouldn't Only the hush of even breath and skies of gentle blue

  Chorus

  Sleep now, Earl, the dark is kind and holds you like a pearl Every shadow bends to keep you warm here in your world Earl, my quiet, breathing light, you are the calmest curl Of everything I love the most, my soft and steady pearl

  Bridge

  Let the ticking carry you where dreams are always slow You are the softest thing this tired old house has known Rest inside the hush I keep for you and you alone

  Chorus

  Sleep now, Earl, the dark is kind and holds you like a pearl Every shadow bends to keep you warm here in your world Earl, my quiet, breathing light, you are the calmest curl Of everything I love the most, my soft and steady pearl

  Outro

  Somewhere behind the wooden door the ticking settles low Sleep now, Earl, and let it carry you soft as you go

  Verse 1

  A yellow line is glowing soft beneath the door tonight Telling you that someone near is watching over you The house breathes slow around you as it settles out the light Every corner of this room believes the same thing too

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes, the dark is only resting on your skin Nothing here will ever come to take this warmth away So let the quiet fold you gently in

  Chorus

  Earl, you are the calm this whole house turns around Softly as a pearl sleeps deep inside its shell Earl, no need to make a single little sound The night just wants to hold you well

  Verse 2

  The blanket knows the shape of you and settles where you settle Your breathing finds its rhythm like a tide that knows its way Somewhere past the window little stars begin to twirl and mettle Waiting just to watch you dream until the break of day

  Chorus

  Earl, you are the calm this whole house turns around Softly as a pearl sleeps deep inside its shell Earl, no need to make a single little sound The night just wants to hold you well

  Bridge

  Whatever spins outside this room, whatever whirls or hurries Cannot touch the quiet built around you here You are the still point of this whole wide world

  Chorus

  Earl, you are the calm this whole house turns around Softly as a pearl sleeps deep inside its shell Earl, no need to make a single little sound The night just wants to hold you well

  Outro

  The line of light beneath the door will stay there till the morning Just like this love that never needs a single word of warning
