[Verse]
She's by the window
The curtains drawn tight
Wrestling her shadows through the long night
I see her hands tremble
Reaching for grace
But she's fighting the world in her quiet embrace
[Chorus]
I wish I could hold her
Ease the despair
Brush back her tears and the weight that she bears
Her song feels so brittle
It bends in the breeze
But her strength is a river that cuts through the seas
[Verse 2]
The nights aren’t so silent when echoes ring low
Memories surround her
Though they rarely show
She hides all her scars like a treasure unshared
But her heart's still a beacon
Though she feels unprepared
[Chorus]
I wish I could hold her
Ease the despair
Brush back her tears and the weight that she bears
Her song feels so brittle
It bends in the breeze
But her strength is a river that cuts through the seas
[Bridge]
And oh
My dear
The winds can howl sharp
But I’m here in the chords of that old creaking harp
The one you still play when the day turns to dust
A father’s voice lingers
It doesn’t combust
[Verse 3]
Above the willow
I silently stand
Watching her journey
Her print in the sand
Though now I’m in heaven
I’m never too far
She carries my love in the beat of her heart
