How the Light Changed
There is a hollow in our home
An echo where you used to be
I drift from room to room as if
To catch your footsteps next to me
The silence piles up in drifts
The quiet soaks into our shoes
If I could shovel free a path
If I could find a passage through
My hands are heavy with the weight
Of trying not to reach for you
I think in circles and in shapes
Infinities and bounded loops
Out past our driveway I could see
The very edges of the earth
The water flowed over the rim
Carried away all we had learned
I didn't know that it was time
I know that no one ever does
I wasn't ready to let go
I know that neither of us was
So stack the memories like stones
And build a wall against the dark
And I will stay here, where you were
Here in the place that once was ours
There is a hollow in our home
An echo where you used to be
An echo where you used to be
I drift from room to room as if
To catch your footsteps next to me
The silence piles up in drifts
The quiet soaks into our shoes
If I could shovel free a path
If I could find a passage through
My hands are heavy with the weight
Of trying not to reach for you
I think in circles and in shapes
Infinities and bounded loops
Out past our driveway I could see
The very edges of the earth
The water flowed over the rim
Carried away all we had learned
I didn't know that it was time
I know that no one ever does
I wasn't ready to let go
I know that neither of us was
So stack the memories like stones
And build a wall against the dark
And I will stay here, where you were
Here in the place that once was ours
There is a hollow in our home
An echo where you used to be
