Residue of Light

I keep your shadow by the window Like it knows the way

back home

Every room is full of echoes But I am learning to be

alone

If I close my eyes,

the silence moves

Pulling me somewhere past the truth

So let my mind drift off tonight Past your hands and out

of sight

I can love you,

I can lose you I can find a different blue When the

memory starts to glow

I will let the current flow No more holding on to prove

I am free to move

There are pieces I keep folding

Into letters I won't send

Every goodbye keeps unfolding

Till it sounds less like the end

I feel the dark beneath my feet

Then hear a pulse beneath the grief

So let my mind drift off tonight Past your hands and out

of sight I can love you,

I can lose you I can find a different blue

When the memory starts to glow

I will let the current flow No more holding on to prove

I am free to move

I won't erase the days we had I won't pretend

they weren't real

But I won't make

a home from that

I won't mistake the hurt

for healing

Let my mind drift off tonight Into open,

living light I can love you,

I can lose you I can breathe without the two

When the memory starts to glow I will let the current flow

What was ours can still be true And I can move

I can move

I am free to move
