歌詞

I found your note on the chair

Creased at the edge, still there

The ink ran soft as rain

By the blue-black pane

Your coat still held your name

And the room knew the same

I traced the seam in light

And waited through the night

Before the street begins to wake

Before the sparrows break

I keep this little fire

Warm enough to stay

Sing me before dawn

Hold me till the dark is gone

One more velvet song

Before dawn, before dawn

Sing me before dawn

Till your shadow moves along

I'll remember you

In the first light too

The clock leaned into sighs

With the moth-winged sky

Your footsteps in the hall

Then the quiet after all

I poured us one last glass

Watched the cold years pass

You smiled like you knew

What the morning would do

Before the windows turn to gold

Before the world grows bold

Let my last refrain

Fold into your name

Sing me before dawn

Hold me till the dark is gone

One more velvet song

Before dawn, before dawn

Sing me before dawn

Till your shadow moves along

I'll remember you

In the first light too

If this is where we part

Let it be slow and kind

I'll keep your handprint near

On the edge of time

No grand goodbyes tonight

Just this tender space

Your face against the gray

And my voice to stay

Sing me before dawn

Hold me till the dark is gone

One more velvet song

Before dawn, before dawn

Sing me before dawn

Till your shadow moves along

I'll remember you

In the first light too
