Distant Barking Radio
Something in me wanted to go dark
Wanted to disappear past the mark
But a hand came down and drew a line
Said even faded,
you still shine
Never all the way to none
Some of you stays,
even when it's gone
A floor beneath the fading light
Held there, softly,
out of sight
Two selves sleeping in the same still pool
One wakes to the sun,
the other stays cool
Waiting on a turning no one sees
For its own slow morning,
at its own ease
Never all the way to none
Some of you stays,
even when it's gone
A floor beneath the fading light Held there,
softly, out of sight
Nothing was ever truly asleep
Just waiting its turn in the deep
What looks like absence,
still holds on
A quiet shape,
before the dawn
Never all the way to none
Some of you stays,
even when it's gone
A floor beneath the fading light
Held there, softly,
out of sight
Still there,
at the edge of gone
