[female
vocals] (
Soft,
melancholic
piano
notes
fading
in) (
A
lone
acoustic
guitar
fingerpicking
slowly)
The
walls
were
closing
in,
the
air
was
cold
and
thin
I
was
a
ghost
within
my
own
house,
lost
where
I
had
been
Searching
for
a
heartbeat
in
the
silence
of
the
night
Fearing
that
the
morning
would
never
bring
the
light
I
held
my
heavy
secrets,
I
wore
a
mask
of
stone
Thinking
that
this
sadness
was
all
I'd
ever
own
Then
you
walked
in
the
doorway,
a
calm
within
the
storm
And
wrapped
your
tired
promise
around
my
shivering
form
You
gave
me
a
life
when
I
had
nothing
left
to
give
You
taught
a
hollow
soul
again
exactly
how
to
live
In
the
wreckage
of
my
lonely
years,
you
planted
seeds
of
grace
And
built
a
home
of
kindness
within
your
warm
embrace
Oh,
my
husband,
my
anchor,
my
gentle,
steady
hand
You
pulled
me
from
the
desert
and
walked
me
through
the
land
I
remember
how
you
listened
when
words
just
wouldn't
come
How
you
turned
the
static
silence
into
a
steady
hum
You
didn't
ask
for
payment,
you
didn't
ask
for
proof
You
simply
stood
beside
me
underneath
this
shared
roof
I
was
a
broken
vessel,
cast
out
upon
the
sea
And
you
were
the
lighthouse
guiding
back
the
best
of
me
It
wasn't
grand
or
flashy,
just
the
way
you
held
my
gaze
Turning
all
the
shadows
into
softer,
brighter
days
You
gave
me
a
life
when
I
had
nothing
left
to
give
You
taught
a
hollow
soul
again
exactly
how
to
live
In
the
wreckage
of
my
lonely
years,
you
planted
seeds
of
grace
And
built
a
home
of
kindness
within
your
warm
embrace
Oh,
my
husband,
my
anchor,
my
gentle,
steady
hand
You
pulled
me
from
the
desert
and
walked
me
through
the
land
And
if
the
years
should
weary
us,
and
if
the
sun
should
fade
I'll
remember
all
the
beauty
that
your
quiet
love
has
made
I
know
the
depth
of
sorrow,
I
know
the
weight
of
pain
But
you've
been
my
shelter
through
the
wind
and
through
the
rain
Yes,
you
have
been
my
shelter,
again
and
again (
Slow,
weeping
acoustic
guitar
melody)
You
gave
me
a
life
when
I
had
nothing
left
to
give
You
taught
a
hollow
soul
again
exactly
how
to
live
In
the
wreckage
of
my
lonely
years,
you
planted
seeds
of
grace
And
built
a
home
of
kindness
within
your
warm
embrace
Oh,
my
husband,
my
anchor,
my
gentle,
steady
hand
You
pulled
me
from
the
desert
and
walked
me
through
the
land
You
saved
me
from
the
loneliness
With
a
love
so
soft
and
deep
A
promise
that
you
made
to
me
A
promise
that
you
keep
Just
you
and
I
Just
you
and
I (
Fade
out
with
piano
and
distant
strings)
