Echoes of the Quiet Heart
(Verse 1)
The city sleeps, the moon is low, a silver sliver in the dark
But here beside you, time moves slow, a quiet warmth that leaves its mark.
No need for words, the silence holds a language only we can speak,
Like ancient stories, yet untold, a strength I never thought to seek.
And every breath you gently take is a rhythm for my weary soul,
A promise that my heart won't break, a peace that makes me finally whole.
(Chorus)
You are the calm when the tide is turning,
The light in the window when the fire's done burning.
You are the anchor I didn't know I needed,
A whisper of love that my whole life has heeded.
And when I look at you, I see the home I was meant to find,
The kind of forever that settles the mind.
(Verse 2)
I trace the lines upon your hand, the small, familiar map of you,
And suddenly I understand the deeper, quieter truth I knew.
That love's not fireworks, bright and loud, but the steady, constant, beating drum,
A shelter built above the crowd, a place where all my wandering's numb.
It’s in the way you simply stay, when all the world demands I run,
You chase the shadows far away, until the lonely fight is done.
(Chorus)
You are the calm when the tide is turning,
The light in the window when the fire's done burning.
You are the anchor I didn't know I needed,
A whisper of love that my whole life has heeded.
And when I look at you, I see the home I was meant to find,
The kind of forever that settles the mind.
(Bridge)
And all those songs I used to write were searching for this very tune,
A melody of pure moonlight, reflected in an afternoon.
I used to think that love was pain, a storm I had to weather through,
But you are like the soft, sweet rain that brings the world back into view.
The safe, sweet rain.
(Outro)
Oh, the kind of forever that settles the mind...
Just breathe with me, and leave the world behind.
(Fade out)
