Lyric

I walked the wood alone

With your name in my coat

The branches held their breath

Like they knew what I wrote

Moonlight on the moss

Cold silk on my hands

Every black leaf hid

What the dark understands

But under that hush

Something started to glow

A seam in the night

Where the lost things go

Dawn behind the black leaves

Dawn behind the black leaves

I felt your light come back to me

Soft as a forgiven grief

Dawn behind the black leaves

Dawn behind the black leaves

What the dark had kept from me

Was morning learning how to breathe

There was a ruined fence

Half sunk in the ground

And the crows on the wire

Made a thin, aching sound

I touched the bark and knew

I had been here before

With my heart in the shade

And my face to the door

Then under that hush

Something started to glow

A seam in the night

Where the lost things go

Dawn behind the black leaves

Dawn behind the black leaves

I felt your light come back to me

Soft as a forgiven grief

Dawn behind the black leaves

Dawn behind the black leaves

What the dark had kept from me

Was morning learning how to breathe

I used to call it ruin

I used to call it end

But the edge of the sorrow

Was a place to mend

One pale line

Through the trees

One small fire

On the breeze

Dawn behind the black leaves

Dawn behind the black leaves

I felt your light come back to me

Soft as a forgiven grief

Dawn behind the black leaves

Dawn behind the black leaves

What the dark had kept from me

Was morning learning how to breathe
