[Intro] (Soft electric piano, airy guitar, distant backing vocals) [Verse 1] She walks in silence through the night Silver dust in fading light No one knows the road she’s on She’s already come and gone [Verse 2] Whispers hanging in her hair Secrets only shadows share Every step a fragile flame No one ever stays the same [Pre-Chorus] You can try to hold her down But she’s never staying bound [Chorus] Shadows still call her name Through the fire, through the rain She’s a spark you cannot tame She will never be the same [Verse 3] Velvet eyes and broken dreams Nothing ever what it seems She don’t beg and she don’t cry She just turns and says goodbye [Pre-Chorus] Feel the wind before she’s gone She was never yours to own [Chorus] Shadows still call her name Through the fire, through the rain She’s a spark you cannot tame She will never be the same [Bridge] (Strip down – voice raspy, intimate) In the dark she finds her way In the night she learns to stay (Rise – drums enter) She’s the echo, she’s the flame You will never hold her name [Final Chorus – Big, layered harmonies] Shadows still call her name Through the fire, through the rain She’s a spark you cannot tame She will never be the same [Outro] (Ethereal vocals, fading guitars, haunting harmonies)
