The Unseen Hours

[Intro: sparse piano, low guitar resonance]

[Verse 1]
[Female Alto, close]
The water finds the missing roof
And gathers in the worn-out stair
You leave your coat beside the door
I let the final note hang there

A little wind along the floor
A folded page beneath your hand
The room receives the way we came
With more than either voice had planned

[Pre-Chorus]
[Female, gently rising]
You turn the small light lower
The rafters disappear
We have no words to finish
So we remain here

[Chorus]
[Female, luminous and restrained]
In the unseen hours
I turn my heart to You
A breath between the falling drops
A little space to enter through

Let wonder open both my hands
And teach them what to do
Here in the unseen hours
I turn my heart to You

[Instrumental: recurring guitar figure, restrained toms]

[Verse 2]
[Female Alto]
You touch the letters with your thumb
Where ink has softened into grey
A line we changed a month ago
Has found another way to stay

I hear the catch before your breath
And leave the next phrase unadorned
The silence opens at the seam
And something gentle takes its form

[Chorus]
[Female, heavier guitars beneath]
In the unseen hours
I turn my heart to You
A breath between the falling drops
A little space to enter through

Let wonder open both my hands
And teach them what to do
Here in the unseen hours
I turn my heart to You

[Bridge]
[Male Baritone, low and clear]
God of the hours we never count
Receive the work beneath the words
The hand that steadies in the dark
The small reply that still gets heard

[Female]
Stay with the note

[Male]
I'm here

[Both]
And let the quiet draw us near

[Instrumental: controlled metal bloom, brief tremolo swell]

[Final Chorus]
[Female lead, Male low harmony]
In the unseen hours
I turn my heart to You
A breath between the falling drops
A little space to enter through

Let wonder open both my hands
And teach them what to do
Here in the unseen hours
I turn my heart to You

[Outro: instruments fall away]
[Both, close]
Into Your hands
The hours
The song
The stillness

[One guitar tone fades into room ambience]
