Dust on the mantelpiece,
quiet in the hall
Your picture
is leaning there,
staring at the wall
The kitchen clock is ticking,
counting down the day
Wondering how a love like ours could drift so far away
And the shadows are getting longer now
Wondering if I'll make it through the dark somehow
Oh, the silence is a heavy weight to bear (yeah)
Looking for your shadow
but you're just not there
Just a cold cup of coffee
and a memory of you
Learning how to live with the midnight blue
I took a walk down
to the riverbend tonight
The water was reflecting
the pale moonlight
I threw a pebble in
and watched the ripples fade
Thinking of the sweet promises we made
Living with the midnight
blue (mmmmm)
