00:00The season turns, the air grows crisp and cold

00:26Another leaf has fallen, tinged with rust

00:31A date now marks a story to be told

00:37A day you left us, turning into dust

00:42I trace the lines upon your dark chair

00:49The cushion still remembers where you sat

00:53A scent of your soap hangs in the air

00:58I turn to share a thought, but no I can't

01:05For two years we walked the narrow burning path

01:11I watched your strength contend against the blight

01:16I failed to shield you from every cutting wrath

01:22I prayed you'd win the war throughout the night

01:29The night is quiet, too polite indeed

01:53It holds its breath where laughter used to bloom

01:58I hear your voice in dreams before I sleep

02:04Then wake to face the small, empty room

02:09I wear your blouse, soft and slightly worn

02:16And feel a comfort in the threads that once belonged to you

02:21A woman grown yet feeling so forlorn

02:26An anchor lost, a silent sudden bloom

02:32The fourth day of this month we had to lay

02:38Your tired body down beneath the ground

02:43Now every dawn begins in shades of grey

02:48Mama, I miss the sound

02:54I hold the picture of your knowing smile

02:59And try to fathom how to now exist

03:04It feels only yesterday you stayed a little while

03:13How do I break this mist?

03:19I move through motions, numb and incomplete

03:26A broken rhythm where the melody was clear

03:31I search for sweetness in the bitter street

03:37I wish that you were here

03:42A broken rhythm in the innate body

03:47I search for listeners

03:49I don't see you forever

03:54I promise you all

03:58I will have your background

04:00I wish that you were here

04:03My heart is broken

04:05I swear to you

04:07I swear to you
