Until the Harbour Light is True (female ver2)

[Intro] [Verse 1] The kitchen clock is ticking, slow and soft as rain, It measures out the silence, easing all the pain. I watch the evening shadows stretch across the floor, And count the stars until you walk back through the door. [Pre-Chorus] They say the world is spinning in a frightening haste, But every moment with you is too precious to waste. My heart is a compass that never fails to stray, It only points to where you are, come what may. [Chorus] [Sustained but efficient.] I'll stand right here where the weeping willow grew, I’ll keep my lonely vigil, faithfully and true. Through every storm and every starless night, I’ll wait for you until the harbour light is true! [Verse 2] I hold the simple letters you once wrote to me, They smell of distant places and the salty sea. I hear your voice singing, soft and sweet and low, And that is all the strength I need to make the hours go. [Instrumental Break/Bridge] [Rich, melodic Saxophone or Clarinet solo over the lush strings and gentle rhythm.] [Key Change: Modulate from G Major to D Major [Bridge] The clouds may hide the moon and the dark may gather near, But hope is a whisper that only I can hear. Just know that somewhere here, my darling, come what may, I’m always dreaming of that bright and perfect day. [Final Chorus] [Powerful, full orchestral swell, held efficiently.] (Repeat Chorus Lyrics once) [Outro] [Vocal holds the final word "true" with a gentle vibrato. Strings and piano decay quickly on a soft, sustained Major chord.]
