Sleep Well, My Girl (song not complete lyrics are)

[Intro – hush, distant pads, heart-beat kick] I called your house tonight, let the ringing find the sky, Held my breath between the tones, said your name without the line. If silence is a doorway, I’ll stand guard until it swings, If the night is full of thunder, I’ll be thunder that still sings. [Verse 1] I keep a light in the kitchen like I’m guiding ships to shore, Cup of tea gone cold beside the photo on the drawer. The day they took you, time fell down and shattered on the floor, Nine months spun like winter, then you ran into my arms once more. But the wheel turned hard again, and they said, “She has to go,” Two small voices with the paperwork and eyes that didn’t know. I had storms behind my ribs that could have leveled out the day, But I chose a quiet strength and watched you walk away. [Pre-Chorus] If I measure miles in heartbeats, then you’re never really far, Every second writes your name across the atlas of my scars. If the system builds a wall, I’ll learn to sing straight through the stone, I can’t lay my hands on heaven, but I’ll carry you in bone. [Chorus] Sleep well, my girl, under the patient moon, I’m the promise in the dark: I’m coming soon. If the dawn feels late and the night feels long, Close your eyes—I’ll wrap you in a song. Sleep well, my girl, in the soft wind’s hands, When the world is loud, I’ll be your quiet land. Through every lock, through every hill, Sleep well, my girl—your father’s will. [Post-Chorus – wordless hum, airy vocal chops] Mmm… sleep well… Mmm… I’m here still… [Verse 2] I practice hope like breathing when the clock forgets to move, Talk to stars like parish priests and wait for them to prove That every loop we fall through has a doorway back to spring, That love is not a fragile glass—it’s an iron wedding ring. They don’t know the nights you cried, they don’t know the nights I prayed, They don’t see the shadow games their paper wars have made. But in every broken silence, I still call your name aloud, And though the world has taken you, you’ll never be allowed. [Pre-Chorus] If I measure years in echoes, then you’re still inside my chest, If tomorrow is uncertain, then tonight I’ll give you rest. When the mountains turn to whispers and the rivers learn to still, I will carve your name forever—I will bend the world to will. [Chorus] Sleep well, my Alicia, under the patient moon, Know your dad is fighting for you every single noon. If the dawn feels late and the night feels long, Close your eyes—I’ll wrap you in a song. Sleep well, my girl, though the world feels cold, I’ll burn through the dark with a heart that’s bold. Through every lock, through every hill, Sleep well, my girl—your father’s will. [Bridge – soaring, layers rising] And if you wake up scared, if the night feels like a cage, I’ll be the fire in your spirit, I’ll be the turning page. Though they’ve tried to write us separate, the ink will fade away, For love’s the only script that time itself obeys. I’ll climb the walls, I’ll burn the chains, I’ll tear the curtains down, Every second that I’m breathing is a war to hear your sound. So dream of me tonight, and when you wake, you’ll know it’s true— That the strongest fire I’ve carried is the one that burns for you. [Drop – trance-like, shimmering arpeggios, layered vocal chops repeating "sleep well, my girl"] Sleep well… my girl… sleep well… my girl… [Verse 3] The strongest I ever had to be was the day they turned you round, My hands were shaking thunder but I never made a sound. I could’ve torn the doors apart, I could’ve lit the air with flame, But love is patient violence, and I refused their game. Now every time I close my eyes, I see you walking still, But each step away you took became the anchor of my will. One day you will hear this song, one day you’ll understand, That I was always reaching, though they tore apart my hand. [Pre-Chorus] If I measure nights in silence, then I’m never truly gone, For silence is just music that’s still waiting for its song. Though the darkness eats the hours and the stars refuse to shine, I will never stop believing you’ll come back and call me mine. [Final Chorus – swelling anthem, layered harmonies] Sleep well, my Alicia, under the patient moon, Every prayer I’ve spoken is a promise: “See you soon.” If the dawn feels late and the night feels long, Close your eyes—I’ll wrap you in a song. Sleep well, my girl, though the road is wide, Know your father’s heart is walking by your side. Through every lock, through every hill, Sleep well, my girl—your father’s will. [Outro – fading like a lullaby, soft keys + heartbeat kick] Sleep well, my girl… Sleep well, my girl… Sleep well… I always will.
