Lyric

The door clicked soft behind you

And the room held your name

Your coat on the chair still waiting

Like a note in the rain

I traced the seam of the morning

On a cup gone cold

And I let the silence teach me

How to loosen my hold

There was grief in the gold at the window

There was grace in the ache I knew

And the air, it turned ever so slowly

Like it had one last thing to do

Quiet new beginning

Quiet new beginning

I'm learning how to stay

Quiet new beginning

Quiet new beginning

Love can change and still not fade away

I folded the last of the letters

Put the photos away

But the cello kept on breathing

In the corners of May

And I found a small brave ember

Under all that blue

Not the fire that we were living

Just a softer truth

There was grief in the gold at the window

There was grace in the ache I knew

And the air, it turned ever so slowly

Like it had one last thing to do

Quiet new beginning

Quiet new beginning

I'm learning how to stay

Quiet new beginning

Quiet new beginning

Love can change and still not fade away

You were the ending of a chapter

I was the hand on the page

Now I'm standing in the after

With my heart unafraid

Let the goodbye be gentle

Let it pass through me

What is left is not empty

It is room to breathe

Quiet new beginning

Quiet new beginning

I'm learning how to stay

Quiet new beginning

Quiet new beginning

I can bless what slipped away

Quiet new beginning

Quiet new beginning

The dawn is not too late

Quiet new beginning

Quiet new beginning

I am here, and I am changed
