Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] (Single piano note, distant reverb) …light still on… [Verse 1] Porch light hums like a hymn at half past three, Your coat still hangs where you left it on me. I sit on the step, let the cold kiss my face— Every exhale writes your name in the space. Street stays quiet, no cars, no sound— Just the echo of footsteps never coming around. [Pre-Chorus] (Soft strings, barely there) Wait… wait… Till the night forgives… [Chorus] Porch light prayer, keep the dark at bay, One bulb, one hope, till the break of day. If you’re out there breathing the same midnight air— Find your way back to the glow we share. (Echo:) …we share… I’m still here, still yours, still bare. [Verse 2] Coffee gone cold in the cup by the door, I warm it with hands that don’t shake anymore. The dog dreams soft on your side of the rug— Tail thumps once, like it remembers your hug. I don’t check the phone, but the screen still lights— Muscle memory of late-night fights. [Pre-Chorus] (Strings swell, then retreat) Wait… wait… Till the silence gives… [Chorus] Porch light prayer, keep the dark at bay, One bulb, one hope, till the break of day. If you’re out there breathing the same midnight air— Find your way back to the glow we share. (Echo:) …we share… I’m still here, still yours, still bare. [Bridge] (Piano only, voice close) I don’t need answers, just one more sign— A shadow that moves, or a hand in mine… [Final Chorus] (Strings bloom, reverb deepens) Porch light prayer, burn till morning’s near, One bulb, one heart, holding you here. If the wind carries whispers across the cold square— Let it bring you home to the light still there. (Echo fade:) …still there… I’m still here… still yours… still prayer. [Outro] (Piano dissolves, light clicks off) …light stays on… (Final breath:) …for you.
