Lyric

Morning came without a warning

No thunder in the glass

The window held a pale sky

Like it had let us pass

The street was clean and empty

The gutters carried leaves

Nothing looked like ending

Nothing looked like grief

Your light was not there waiting

My shoes had dried by then

The message was not open

The call would not come again

I thought I needed reasons

A fault, a final line

But time had thinned the weather

And blurred the shape of mine

Still, something did not leave me

When all the noise withdrew

Not the anger, not the hunger

Not the fear of losing you

Just the place where I stood silent

Just the hand that did not rise

Just the love I could not carry

Past the room inside my mind

After the rain had nothing left

There was no one left to blame

Only quiet on the pavement

Only me inside my name

After the rain had nothing left

No storm to make it clean

I could see the door behind me

And the man I should have been

The city learned its color

The coffee cooled the same

People crossed the corner

Without knowing what became

Of all the almost speaking

Of all the almost gone

Of all the ways I loved you

That never made it on

Love was not the missing part

I know that much by now

Love was in the doorway

But never learned how

To move through my body

To reach the other side

Some truths do not forgive you

They only stay quiet

After the rain had nothing left

There was no mercy in the air

No beautiful redemption

No sign that you were there

After the rain had nothing left

I stopped asking it to prove

That I had meant to reach you

When I never made the move

The glass dried without witness

The room forgot the sound

Your name became a weather

I could live with, not put down
