歌詞

At the edge of dawn

Your name lies folded

Like a silk note

On the table's last ray

I lift it slow

With both my hands

And the room turns gold

In a quiet way

One syllable

Then another

Soft as rain

On the windowpane

I almost know you

Before I say you

And the morning

Sings your shape again

Your name

Unfolds on my tongue

Oh, your name

Like first light over water

Your name

Stays warm in my hands

So warm

And I cannot let it wander

The cup goes cold

The clock moves gentle

But your letters

Keep their sleeping fire

I trace the curve

Of every corner

Like a prayer

I do not retire

Your shadow smiles

Inside the curtains

And the day

Leans in to hear

One syllable

Then another

Soft as rain

On the windowpane

I almost know you

Before I say you

And the morning

Sings your shape again

Your name

Unfolds on my tongue

Oh, your name

Like first light over water

Your name

Stays warm in my hands

So warm

And I cannot let it wander

If I must go

I'll go gently

Leave the last word

On the sill

But even distance

Would remember

How your name

Made the quiet still

Your name

Unfolds on my tongue

Oh, your name

Like first light over water

Your name

Stays warm in my hands

So warm

And I cannot let it wander
