Lyrics
[intro]
(Soft guitar picking, distant hum)
[verse]
I walked the long way past the old stone fence,
Where summer used to lean on every word,
The wind was turning pages in the grass,
Like it remembered what we never heard.
[chorus]
So I sing low, let the night come easy,
Let the hard days drift like leaves downstream,
If your name still rings in the timber of my chest,
I’ll hold it like a lantern in the dream.
[verse]
Your shadow’s in the kitchen window light,
A coffee cup, a chair that doesn’t move,
I trace the cracks in all the things we built,
And find the seams still stitched with something true.
[chorus]
So I sing low, let the night come easy,
Let the hard days drift like leaves downstream,
If your name still rings in the timber of my chest,
I’ll hold it like a lantern in the dream.
[bridge]
Maybe time’s a river, maybe it forgives,
Maybe it just carries what it can,
But I’m learning how to breathe between the waves,
With your goodbye still warm inside my hands.
[outro]
I sing low… and the night comes easy.
