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
