The Steady Hearth

[Verse 1]
The old wood groans a secret, soft and low,
As the city's neon edges start to glow.
Another splash of amber, without a sound,
A steady hand, where solace can be found.
This quiet corner, like a cornerstone unworn.

[Chorus]
Here, the deep rhythm settles, strong and true,
A borrowed shelter, just for me and you.
While silence holds the promises we keep.

[Verse 2]
The pianist, he builds with chords of smoke and grey,
A quiet scaffolding for the fading day.
He finds the fissure in the heart's old wall,
And fills the hollow spaces, answering a call.
Each note a beam, against the rising tide.

[Chorus]
Here, the deep rhythm settles, strong and true,
A borrowed shelter, just for me and you.
While silence holds the promises we keep.

[Bridge]
This weathered haven, where the dust of years now lies,
A fragile shelter built beneath uncertain skies.
Though roots may fray and anchors drift too far,
This steady hearth steadies every trembling star.

[Outro]
Another night, the slow, soft settling down.
A quiet ember in this sleeping town.
