Barnlight Confession
(hummmm) Standing in the barn doorway
With my phone flashlight cutting through the cold
A stranger in the mirror laughs too loud
Then goes quiet
as the night unfolds
And the light won't reach
across the distance
And the shadow plays a trick on my mind (ohhh)
Did we lose it in the quiet space
we left behind?
Dust motes dancing in the beam
Every wooden beam remembers where we stood
But the silence is a heavy screen
Blocking out the things we said we would
And the light won't reach
across the distance
And the shadow plays a trick on my mind (ohhh)
Did we lose it in the quiet space
we left behind?
Just a flashlight in the dark... (ahhhh)
