Porchlight Promises

The screen door is creaking

again in the wind

Reminding me of where

we used to begin

Your coffee cup sits

by the window alone

In a house that is quiet,

but no longer a home

And the clock on the mantle

just tick-tocks away

Counting the hours

that you chose not to stay

Oh, the hardest part of letting go

Is watching all the embers lose their glow (ooh,

lose their glow) I keep searching for your shadow in the hall

But there's nothing but the dust upon the wall

I found an old letter

you wrote in July

It promised the world under that

summer sky

But ink fades away

just like promises do

Leaving me

with a beautiful

memory

of you

Oh, the hardest part of letting go

Is watching all the embers lose their glow (ooh,

lose their glow)

I keep searching for your shadow in the hall

But there's nothing but the dust upon the wall

Nothing but the dust...

upon the wall (mmmmm)
