I hold the night inside my hands
It slips like water through the dark
You moved through me like a borrowed wind Left every door a
little wide
I count the space between my breaths And call it by your
quiet light The room still leans toward where you were The walls
remember more than I do
I keep a place beside my name
For all the ways I reach for you
If I let go,
will you return If I stand still,
will time be kind
Every step draws a brighter
ache Every beat pulls me to the line
Come back as rain on an open sea Come back as breath
in the hollow of me
I am still here with my hands undone
Calling your name till the morning comes Carry me far where the
lost things run Leave me the ache if you're not the one
Higher now, the sky gives way My heart turns over,
bright and
grave I feel the whole world start to bend As if your
voice could break
the wave Ahhh Now the air grows thin and clear Now the
tide unthreads my fear I let the last light pass through me
Free to the dark,
free to the deep (ooh) Free to the dark,
free to the deep
