Lyric

"I’ll be home late," is what I heard you say

But something feels so wrong about today

An angel whispers, chilling all the air

A premonition I can hardly bear

The things I wanted to tell you long ago

Are left unsaid as I watch you go

You’re drifting further, slipping from my sight

I crack another can and face the night

For the love I lost, so sudden and so deep

I pour a cup of water while the angels weep

For the soul that’s gone, into the great unknown

I pour a silent offering, here all on my own

I feel your essence, slow and bittersweet

As you spread your wings to where the heavens meet

Memories are dripping, falling down my face

Leaving salty tracks that I can’t erase

I bite my lip and swallow down the pain

Painting on a smile to hide the rain

I want to blame someone for this heavy cost

Searching for a reason in everything I lost

Just let me make it through one more lonely day

I crack another can to wash the ghosts away

To the love I see, still burning in my mind

I pour a cup for the heart you left behind

To the soul I see, shining like a star

I pour a silent offering to where you are

The taste of you will never fade or die

Please, won't you descend from the velvet sky?

(Don't leave me here...)

(Just one more day...)

Come back down

The cup is full

One more can for the road
