[INTRO] (A lone, warm acoustic guitar picks a simple, melancholic melody. A soft piano joins, playing sparse, resonant chords. The tempo is slow and unwavering.) [VERSE 1 — Female lead, voice soft, raw, and intimate] The rain is falling on your window pane A cold and lonely, endless train I see the weight upon your brow I don't know how, but I know how To sit right here and hold this space To wipe the sorrow from your face. [VERSE 2 — Female lead, voice gentle and steady] If all your friends have turned and gone And you can't find the light of dawn If every road just leads to dead ends And you can't trust the words of fair-weather friends I won't speak empty, hollow sounds I'll just be quiet, on your ground. [CHORUS — Music swells slightly with a soft string arrangement. Vocals are heartfelt, direct, and full of quiet conviction] I would walk through the fire, I would swim the sea I would face a thousand storms for you, don't you see? When the world is cruel and the night is long I will be the echo to your sad song. I can't stop the hurt, or turn back the time But I can promise you this heart of mine. [VERSE 3 — Female lead, with subtle warmth] Let the winds of change blow fierce and wild Let the inner child feel reconciled I’ll stand a fortress, low and deep While all the promises you keep Are breaking gently in your hands I’ll help you gather all the sands. [CHORUS — Emotion builds, strings become more present. Vocals gain strength and passion] I would walk through the fire, I would swim the sea I would face a thousand storms for you, don't you see? When the world is cruel and the night is long I will be the echo to your sad song. I can't stop the hurt, or turn back the time But I can promise you this heart of mine. [BRIDGE — Music pulls back to the guitar and piano. Vocal is a vulnerable whisper] I don't have kingdoms, I don't have gold Just a simple story, getting old But every chapter, every line Says your heart is safe in mine. [FINAL CHORUS — The full, warm string arrangement returns. Vocal is powerful yet remains deeply sincere, not overly ornate] I would walk through the fire, I would swim the sea I would face a thousand storms for you, don't you see? When the world is cruel and the night is long I will be the echo to your sad song. I can't stop the hurt, or turn back the time But I can promise you this heart of mine. [OUTRO — Music fades to the lone acoustic guitar and piano] (Spoken-sung, with profound tenderness) This heart of mine… Is yours… for all of time. (Final, gentle guitar note fades.)
