Lyric

Nine lives

Nine lives

No performance in this quiet circle

No shining trick to prove the truth

Only old souls leaning closer

Holding what the years came through

No envy in the candle silence

No borrowed glow, no need to rise

Just the kind of understanding

That does not ask for an alibi

Every fall

Every scar

Every door left ajar

Every hush

Every sign

Still returns in time

If your stars begin to fade

I will keep the shade you gave

Nothing lost that I can measure

Only what we still remember

When the last bright trace runs dry

I will dress up and dance goodbye

Not for sorrow, not for show

Just so your shadow still can glow

Nine lives

Still remember

Nine lives

I remember

Dressed in grace

Soft goodbye

One more turn

One more time

We do not need to call it holy

We do not need to call it pain

Some love stays behind the curtain

Some truth never needs a name

If the circle turns to silence

If the candles lose their line

I will stand there in the afterglow

Wearing what you left behind

Every fall

Every scar

Every door left ajar

Every hush

Every sign

Still returns in time

If your stars begin to fade

I will keep the shade you gave

Nothing lost that I can measure

Only what we still remember

When the last bright trace runs dry

I will dress up and dance goodbye

Not for sorrow, not for show

Just so your shadow still can glow

Not for applause

Not for the light

Not to be seen

Not to be right

Just one slow turn

For what remains

One quiet step

Inside your shade

If I return

Dressed in grace

It will be love

Wearing a shape

If your stars begin to fade

I will keep the shade you gave

Nothing lost that I can measure

Only what we still remember

When the last bright trace runs dry

I will dress up and dance goodbye

Not for sorrow, not for show

Just so your shadow still can glow

Nine lives

Still remember

Nine lives

I remember

Dressed in grace

I dance goodbye
