Shelter Light

Verse 1  
You sat beneath the blinking lamp  
A coat too thin, your shoulders damp  
The shelter hummed with neon ghosts  
But none could hold what mattered most  

Chorus  
Shelter light in broken time  
Your face half lost in shadowed rhyme  
You closed your eyes to stay awake  
And watched the cold begin to break  

Verse 2  
The buses passed like ships in dreams  
Your silence stitched between the beams  
I asked if this was where you’d end  
You nodded once but didn’t bend  

Chorus  
Shelter light in broken time  
Your face half lost in shadowed rhyme  
You closed your eyes to stay awake  
And watched the cold begin to break  

Bridge  
The night was still but full of sound  
And all we were remained unfound  

Outro  
You left before the dawn could show  
Just footsteps fading in the snow
