Door half-closed to the harbour air
Curtains breathe but no one's there
Salt has settled on the sill
Time stands waiting, cold and still
Empty glass beside the bed
Words unspoken, left unsaid
Mirror cracked by candle flame
Dust remembers her name
Footsteps echo in the hall
But no one answers to the call
Something lingers in the gloom
Breathing in Lira's room
In Lira's room the silence cries
Shadows move where truth still lies
Sheets lie cold beneath the moon
Something left too soon
In Lira's room the air runs thin
Walls know more than we let in
When the tide returns to claim
It whispers her name
Floorboards creak with careful weight
Like regret that came too late
Harbour bells begin to moan
Calling what was never gone
Lantern light begins to shake
As if the walls might start to break
Fog curls slowly round the door
Like it's been here once before
Hear the timber strain and sigh
Like it knows the reason why
Every vow and broken tune
Haunts Lira's room
In Lira's room the silence cries
Shadows move where truth still lies
Sheets lie cold beneath the moon
Something left too soon
In Lira's room the air runs thin
Walls know more than we let in
When the tide returns to claim
It whispers her name
You can search the docks at dawn
You can swear she's simply gone
But the sea keeps what it takes
And gives it back when midnight breaks
In Lira's room the silence screams
Nothing's ever what it seems
When the fog consumes the quay
She's closer than you think she'll be
