"Shadows Stay"

Verse 1
The house won’t move, but the air feels thin,
Every step I take, I trip where you’ve been.
Your chair’s still warm in the quiet place.,
I keep the lights low, in this blue space. 

Verse 2
Your watch still ticks on the bedroom shelf,
I wind it up, but it won’t help.
The calendar froze on a winter day,
The ink of your handwriting won’t fade away.

Chorus
You’re gone, but the shadows stay,
They whisper in a crooked way.
I keep on talking, but no one replies,
Just the sound of my breath, and the sound of goodbyes.

Verse 3
Some nights I dream you’re walking near,
Your coat on the rail, your voice in my ear.
I wake to nothing, just the ceiling’s stare,
And the heavy reminder that you’re not there.

Chorus
You’re gone, but the shadows stay,
They whisper in a crooked way.
I keep on talking, but no one replies,
Just the sound of my breath, and the sound of goodbyes.

Verse 1
The house won’t move, but the air feels thin,
Every step I take, I trip where you’ve been.
Your chair’s still warm in the quiet place.,
I keep the lights low, in this blue space.

Chorus
You’re gone, but the shadows stay,
They whisper in a crooked way.
I keep on talking, but no one replies,
Just the sound of my breath, and the sound of goodbyes.

Final Chorus
You’re gone, but the shadows stay,
They haunt me in a tender way.
I reach for your hand, but it slips through the night,
And I’m left with the dark, and the absence of light.
