Golden light on silent water
Clocktower breathing through the sky
Boats drift slow like whispered promises
That never learned to say goodbye
Lantern flame in trembling amber
Footsteps fading on the stone
Every shadow holds a question
Every silence feels like home
Time is folding in my hands
Like letters never sent
Every second understands
The things I never meant
Where the evening waits for me
By the river’s quiet glow
I am more than what you see
More than what I let you know
If the night decides to stay
I will let the daylight fall
In the stillness of the gray
I will hear the hidden call
Black cat watching like a secret
Eyes that know what I can’t say
City bells begin their breathing
Turning gold into decay
Every window keeps a memory
Every bridge remembers rain
Somewhere in the fading color
I release the fear of change
Time is bending at my feet
Like waves along the shore
If I rise or I retreat
I am not afraid anymore
Where the evening waits for me
By the river’s quiet glow
I am more than what you see
More than what I let you know
If tomorrow calls my name
Through the mist of London air
I will step into the flame
With the silence that I bear
When the sun dissolves in gold
And the world forgets my face
I will carry what I hold
To another hidden place
