Verse 1

She moves like quiet rain

Never begs, never explains

Doesn’t swear her heart is true

Still I know just what she’ll do

Cold as frost, warm as flame

Never asks me to her name

Verse 2

People bring flowers, trade their vows

Promise forever, minute by hour

She just smiles and turns away

Won’t sell tomorrow for today

No card, no ring, no price on her

You can’t buy what she prefers

Verse 3

Bus stop talk and paperback dreams

Borrowed lines and movie scenes

Everybody’s sure they know

How a life like hers should go

She just hums a quiet tune

Lets the chalk wash off too soon

Chorus

She knows winning ain’t always grace

And losing don’t mean disgrace

Some fall hard, some stand tall

But none of it defines us all

She don’t chase the finish line

She just walks it, time by time

Verse 4

Shadows deal in whispered schemes

Candles burn for borrowed kings

Even pawns remember pain

Even saints get stained by rain

She just lifts one brow

Seen enough to let it out

Verse 5

Bridges shake at half-past two

Doctors talk past what is true

Gold-trimmed hopes and perfect plans

Waiting gifts from wiser hands

The wind beats doors like drums

Night comes wet and then it runs

Outro / Final Verse

She stands outside my frame

Like a blackbird bent, not tamed

Perched right here, though hurt and torn

Still she sings me into dawn
