The wind chimes catch a memory
This old envelope smells like the sea
Our shadows used to run so free
Before we learned what "used to be"
A pressed daisy in a dusty book
The quiet grace of a sideways look
I’m waiting where the garden grows
Where the river sighs and the clover blows
Waiting for the light to fade
Waiting in the secret shade
The willow needs the creek
The silence needs to speak
Like a traveler needs a home
Like a poem needs a roam
I’m just a song that’s out of breath
Chasing life and cheating death
I see your face, the strings hum low
A story only we could know
The kitchen steam, the candle glow
A handwritten world from long ago
I see your face, the light leaks in
Like summer soaking through my skin
We said goodbye to find the truth
But I still hold the ghost of youth
Deep inside the wood
Deep inside for good
A charcoal sketch of a rusted clock
The sound of boots on the wooden dock
I’m still editing the way you laughed
On that little boat, that wooden raft
Maybe a field, maybe a porch
Carrying a memory like a torch
The way you cried was clear and sweet
Like rain upon a cobblestone street
And I belong...
I belong to the "us" that’s gone
Ooh...
Mm... just let it breathe...
I see your face, the strings hum low
A story only we could know
The kitchen steam, the candle glow
A handwritten world from long ago
I see your face, the light leaks in
Like summer soaking through my skin
We said goodbye to find the truth
But I still hold the ghost of youth
The guitar’s heavy on my knee
Just like it always used to be
We’d sing until the stars leaned down
Above this sleepy, quiet town
Anywhere...
Just anywhere with you...
