A Tiny Space

Track three on my 80's inspired LP. A Ballad this time. Enjoy!

Lyrics:

There's no spare time, no second door,
we spread our years across the table—
but they won't fold back into the time
that we have left to hold them close.

So keep your coat on, sit by me,
and say the things we saved for later—
while we still have names to call out
and breath enough to say them soft.

Nobody gets to live forever,
stay with me through the night—
and if the morning finds us here,
then hold on to me tight.

When you are gone, this room will echo,
I'll keep your cup, your chair untouched here,
and I will practice all the quiet things
you taught me how to say alone.

I'll learn the weight of empty hours,
the shape of all you've left behind here—
but while you're here, while I can reach you,
let me hold your hand in mine.

Nobody gets to live forever,
stay with me till first light—
and if grief comes to sit beside us,
we will make it right.

Nobody gets to live forever,
that was never ours to hold—
but this little while we have together,
we'll fill with all our souls.

Put your hand here, let the tears dry,
I will carry what I can—
and you just rest your weary eyes.

Nobody gets to live forever,
stay with me through the night—
this little while is ours together,
and that is still our right.

Nobody gets to live forever,
I won't ever let you go—
and if there's any road beyond this,
I will walk it slow.

Nobody gets to live forever,
nobody gets to stay—
but I am here beside you now,
and that won't fade away.

I'm here.
