I head inside to shake the world away
You hand me warmth to end a heavy day
No grand illusions no dramatic grace
Just soft relief inside this quiet space
The mirror shows the silver in our hair
Our ordinary days are stripping bare
But holding hands when midnight shadow grows
We share a truth that only silence knows
The deepest love is never made of sound
It’s like a river running underground
We don't need fireworks to light the dark
Your steady presence is my only spark
Our sacred vow is in the bread we break
To walk the line of every breath we take
The roaring fire eventually will die
But we’re the air that keeps our hearts alive
I’ve seen the curtains fall on empty stages
And watched the dust settle on golden pages
Let others chase the thrill of wins and losses
I’ll take the porch light where our pathway crosses
The deepest love is never made of sound
It’s like a river running underground
We don't need fireworks to light the dark
Your steady presence is my only spark
Our sacred vow is in the bread we break
To walk the line of every breath we take
The roaring fire eventually will die
But we’re the air that keeps our hearts alive
Time can be slow a lifetime for one name
Time can be fast a fleeting wrinkled game
But leaning on your shoulder through the storm
This frozen universe is suddenly warm
The deepest love is never made of sound
A quiet stream where all our hopes are bound
We traded drama for a peaceful mind
A steady anchor that we left behind
This sweet devotion runs inside our veins
To love you through the seasons and the rains
The flashing lights will fade into the sea
But our unbroken river runs so free
Like a quiet stream
With you my eternity
