Fading Lanterns

The dust is settling on the wooden floor

And your keys are lying by the heavy door

I watch the shadows crawl across the wall

Waiting for a sound that I will not recall

And it's a long way down

From where we used to stand

Holding on to sand

Now the cold is moving in

And I don't know where to begin

To mend a heart that's broken deep

With promises we couldn't keep

I found your letter tucked behind the shelf

A quiet warning that I gave myself But I ignored the signs

and chased the spark

And now I'm learning how to love the dark

Now the cold is moving in

And I don't know where to begin

To mend a heart that's broken deep

With promises we couldn't keep (hummmm)

We couldn't keep (ahhhh)
