day draws in slow
words catch in the throat of morning
i speak anyway
for the sound, for the quiet street
today is new
concrete holds our small feet
little ghost hides
in the shadow of the lamppost
i’ll find your love
quiet as a winter’s breath
hold me close
like rain, like a soft sigh
i’ll slip away
in the shadow of another day
stumbling alone
learning life’s okay in the dark
say after me
leave the world’s unkind words
hold me close
listen to my quiet song
i’ll fade away
like a morning dream
your words in my hand
a game of shadows, of light
you’re all i hold
soft as a whispered goodnight
hold me close
this fleeting moment’s right
i’ll be gone soon
but you’ll stay, bright
i’ll be gone soon
but you’ll stay, bright
