Light Between Us

Your coat is hanging by the stairs The morning moves,

but you're not there I hear the wood beneath my feet

Keeping time with what I need A cup of tea,

a silver spoon A little sunlight in the room

I used to fill the quiet space

Now I let it take its place

Stay until the light comes through

I don't need an answer out of you

Let the silence breathe a while Let the shadows lose their shape

If there's nothing left to say

We can feel it anyway

Stay until the light comes through

I'll be here, a little closer to you

The window holds a passing cloud I set the heavy questions

down

Your voice is softer than before I leave my worries on the

floor

We don't have to name this thing

To hear the way the small strings ring

Nothing has to bloom tonight

Roots can grow beneath the light

Stay until the light comes through

I don't need an answer out of you

Let the silence breathe a while Let the shadows lose their shape

If there's nothing left to say We can feel it anyway

Stay until the light comes through

I'll be here, a little closer to you

Slowly, slowly Let the hours unfold

Hold me gently There's no story we must hold

Stay until the light comes through

I don't need an answer out of you

Let the silence breathe a while Let the shadows lose their shape

If there's nothing left to say

We can feel it anyway

Stay until the light comes through

I'll be here, a little closer to you

A little closer

As the light comes through
