Still Here

The sultry evening's gone to rest,
The light is swallowed by the shade.
Above the arch, a window's crest—
A presence there, a vow unmade.

Through all the storms that came and went,
Defying every twist of fate,
I left the temptations I had spent
And found my way back to your gate.

When I'm beside you, time stands still,
The minutes lose their hurried chase.
No judging eyes, no bitter will—
No betrayal in this place.

[Chorus]
Thank you for waiting here for me
When all the city lights go dark.
My harbor, safe and endlessly true—
A lighthouse, striking through the dark.
Let the whole world laugh and sneer:
"Your love is just a passing spark,
So its price is nothing, sheer."
Thank you for waiting here for me.

I believe the thread that Ariadne spun—
It bends but never breaks through storm and blaze.
And one day, for you, when all is done,
I'll lay the whole wide world at your feet, amazed.
I don't know where, I don't know when,
But we will find our rest at last.
Yet with my whole heart, now and then,
I long to be one with you—never torn apart.
