  Verse 1

  The lamp is turned down low beside your folded pile of blankets Soft flannel waiting warm to wrap around your sleepy frame Ernest, close your eyes now, let the whole house settle with you Nothing in this room tonight will ever call your name in blame

  Pre-chorus

  Every little sound out there has gone and softened into hush The night is only quiet breathing, nothing left to rush So let the warm light hold you while your eyes grow heavy and slow

  Chorus

  Ernest, Ernest, the lamp burns low and steady just for you Wrapped in flannel, wrapped in quiet, nothing here has turned You are held so gently here, however small or new This is the kind of love that never could have earnt

  Verse 2

  Somewhere past the window the whole world has gone to sleeping Tucked in blankets folded soft as anything can be Ernest, you don't need to keep your small eyes open, watching There is nothing waiting out there that you need to see

  Chorus

  Ernest, Ernest, the lamp burns low and steady just for you Wrapped in flannel, wrapped in quiet, nothing here has turned You are held so gently here, however small or new This is the kind of love that never could have earnt

  Bridge

  Rest now, let your breathing find its slowest, softest pace Nobody is asking anything of you in this small warm space

  Chorus

  Ernest, Ernest, the lamp burns low and steady just for you Wrapped in flannel, wrapped in quiet, nothing here has turned You are held so gently here, however small or new This is the kind of love that never could have earnt

  Outro

  The lamp will still be burning low when morning finally comes Sleep now, Ernest, safe among the folded, waiting warmth

  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

  Verse 1

  A soft glow slips beneath your door and settles on the floor Stretching out so slow and long, a shadow you adore Close your eyes now, let the hush come wrapping round your bed Nothing in the dark tonight will trouble you, my dear one, instead

  Pre-chorus

  Somewhere down the hallway low a gentle light stays burning Watching over every breath, so calm and so concerned Hush now, let that quiet gold be all your heart is yearning

  Chorus

  Ernest, Ernest, close your eyes, the night is safe and kind Drift away where dreams are soft and worries stay behind You are held here, you are warm, and nothing goes unearned Sleep now, Ernest, sleep so deep, until the morning's turned

  Verse 2

  Somewhere past the door a floorboard creaks a lullaby so slow Telling you that you are loved wherever you may go Rest your head, let every worry loosen its tight hold You are cherished more than any story ever told

  Bridge

  Hush now, let the quiet hold you like a gentle hand Nothing in this house tonight will ever leave you unplanned tag_placeholder_ignore_this_key_that_should_not_exist_but_json_needs_valid_structure_so_delete_before_send_wait_this_is_wrong_do_not_include_extra_keys_remove_immediately_before_final_output
