Windows dim like closing eyes
Sirens fade into goodbyes
Even chaos takes a rest
Night puts calm back in my chest
Breathing syncs with empty streets
City sleeps softly now
Makes a quiet little vow
To forget the day somehow
City sleeps softly now
Alleys hum a lullaby
Trash bags dance, then settle down
Every building bows its head
To the dreams we never said
If I listen close enough
I hear hope
City sleeps softly now
Makes a quiet little vow
To forget the day somehow
City sleeps softly now
City sleeps softly still
Under moonlight’s gentle will
Let me borrow just a bit
Of the peace you give
Shh… the city breathes
