The sun through the pines paints the porch in slow gold
Your hand finds my hand just like when we were bold
The years on your face read like songs we once played
No road left to run — this porch is where we stay
The kids all moved on through the springs and the falls
Through jobs and through moves and through late-night calls
The fights that we had — they all feel small tonight
Your head on my shoulder in this gold dusk light
That porch light still glows through the years and the change
One life lived together — who knew it'd feel so strange
The girl in her forties with laugh lines so deep
I'd travel through time just to keep what we keep
That porch light still glows when the crickets come through
The ghost of the young us is still warm and true
The man on this porch steps — you still make me smile
This slow gold evening was so worth the while
The sun through the pines paints the porch in slow gold
Your hand finds my hand just like when we were bold
The years on your face read like songs we once played
No road left to run — this porch is where we stay
The kids all moved on through the springs and the falls
Through jobs and through moves and through late-night calls
The fights that we had — they all feel small tonight
Your head on my shoulder in this gold dusk light
That porch light still glows through the years and the change
One life lived together — who knew it'd feel so strange
The girl in her forties with laugh lines so deep
I'd travel through time just to keep what we keep
That porch light still glows when the crickets come through
The ghost of the young us is still warm and true
The man on this porch steps — you still make me smile
This slow gold evening was so worth the while
