Lyric

I kept your name in chalk

On the window by the sink

Morning found it fading slow

Like a secret left to think

The kettle gave a silver sigh

The paper caught the sun

And every little broken line

Began to come undone

I turned the page

And there you were

In braided smoke

In amber blur

A quiet flame

A patient hand

I watched the dark

Learn where to land

Spell it in soft gold

Soft gold, soft gold

Let the whole room glow

Soft gold, soft gold

Write me back to light

One word, one spark

Spell it in soft gold

Right through the dark

Your voice was tucked inside a box

Of ribbon, bone, and rose

I opened it and found the air

Still warm around my clothes

The old blue jar on the sill

Held one last honeyed ray

It touched the floor, it touched my heart

And pulled the night away

I turned the page

And there you were

A folded map

A waking star

The wound, the wish

The missing thread

All the little ghosts

Unlearned the dead

Spell it in soft gold

Soft gold, soft gold

Let the whole room glow

Soft gold, soft gold

Write me back to light

One word, one spark

Spell it in soft gold

Right through the dark

I don’t need thunder

I don’t need flames

Just your gentle hands

And my true name

Let the dawn come in

Let it take its time

I was made for wonder

And you are mine

Spell it in soft gold

Soft gold, soft gold

Now the whole room glows

Soft gold, soft gold

Write me back to light

One word, one spark

Spell it in soft gold

Right through the dark

Spell it in soft gold

Soft gold, soft gold

And if I fall apart

Hold me, then call

Spell it in soft gold

Soft gold, soft gold

I wake in your dawn

I wake in your dawn
