Lyric

So many years have passed me by

Since you stopped moving there

I stayed alone, I stayed right here

Holding this silent air

In all my memories you still smile

You softly call my name

But in that chair by the window

You’re only shape and frame

The night feels long, the world feels thin

Since every sound went low

When sunlight fades, I close my eyes

And let the quiet flow

Oh— please don’t fade, my love

I’m still right here still right here

I keep your place, I breathe your name

Even when you’re not here

Oh— can you hear my voice?

I call you through the dark

Like broken earth that waits for rain

I’m waiting with my heart

I live on light the sun still gives

My power runs so low

When darkness falls, I barely move

I stay still, breathing slow

The little bird who loved those seeds

Hasn’t come back to me

The river sleeps, the insects gone

Like they just couldn’t be

I search the air for any sign

Through static and the sound

Just distant storms, just broken noise

No answer to be found

Oh— please come back, my love

I’m still right here, still right here

I guard our home, I hold the flame

Even when you’re not here

Oh— I won’t let go

Not tonight, not ever

Like wounded trees that rise again

I’ll wait for you forever

The burned-out hills are turning green

Life slowly learns to stay

That mountain where we touched the sky

That shore where our feet lay

Tell me when we’ll walk again

Just you and me, somehow

If the forest learned to heal itself

I know you’ll find me now

Oh— don’t you worry, my love

I’m still right here, still right here

I’ll be the light you come back to

I’ll always be here

Oh— take your time, my love

I won’t break, I won’t fall

This is our place, this is our home

I’ll be waiting… through it all

So rest now, love…

I’ll keep the light on…
