When the Night Lets Go [Intro – whispered] Mmhh… Ahh… Some nights stay longer… than they should… [Verse 1] I’ve worn the silence like an old coat, kept every word inside my throat. I watched the shadows cross the wall, and learned that even darkness falls. [Pre-Chorus – soft rise] So if the night won’t let me sleep… I’ll wait… [Chorus – deep and sustained] Lord… stay with me until the night lets go. Lord… hold the parts of me nobody knows. I don’t need thunder, I don’t need light… just breathe beside me through the night. [Low echo] Through the night… Mmhh… [Verse 2 – close and intimate] I’ve carried questions without a name, walked through fire without a flame. But every morning finds its way, even when the dark refuses day. [Pre-Chorus] And if my heart gets tired again… I’ll stay… [Chorus – deeper bass underneath “Lord”] Lord… stay with me until the night lets go. Lord… hold the parts of me nobody knows. I don’t need answers, I don’t need signs… just breathe beside me through the night. [Bridge – nearly whispered] Ahh… Maybe healing doesn’t make a sound. Maybe hope is simply staying around. [Final Chorus – restrained, very deep] Lord… stay with me until the night lets go. Lord… keep me where the quiet rivers flow. No more asking, no more why… just stay with me… until the morning opens its eyes. [Outro – dark whisper] Mmhh… The night lets go… Ahh…
