Silent Sign

[Intro] Soft the night, soft the street, soft the fear I keep inside [Verse 1] I see you drift by, like a shadow with a spark I cannot hide Your eyes, a distant harbor, where my harbor lights would drown If I spoke, would you hear me, or would you turn and leave this town? I’m counting little chances, like stars that fade at dawn I’m whispering your name to the dark, but not the truth I’m drawn [Pre-Chorus] Tell me if you’re with someone else, or if I’m chasing air Tell me what you dream of, when the night lays you bare [Chorus] If a sign could find me, I’d cling to it tight I’d walk a quiet road toward your light I’m here in the hush of your imperfect grace Waiting for a moment, to honor your space [Verse 2] Dreams haunt my nights, where you’re near but never mine I wrestle with goodbye in the soft echo of a line I want to say I’ll respect what you have, with a patient heart But fear keeps me listening, and tears keep us apart [Pre-Chorus] Why do you pull away, like the moon leaves the sea What do you hear when I’m not saying I’ll just let you be? [Chorus] If a sign could find me, I’d cling to it tight I’d walk a quiet road toward your light I’m here in the hush of your imperfect grace Waiting for a moment, to honor your space [Bridge] Maybe I’ll learn to heal with the ache I can’t name Maybe the night will turn soft enough to let me stay sane If love is a patient road, I’ll walk it slow and true Holding your happiness first, if that’s what you want me to do [Chorus] If a sign could find me, I’d cling to it tight I’d walk a quiet road toward your light I’m here in the hush of your imperfect grace Waiting for a moment, to honor your space [Outro] So I’ll keep my heart quiet, and I’ll guard what I can keep Until the day you choose your own dawn, or I learn how to sleep clean
