Verse 1
Morning light on an empty chair
The garden grows where we used to stare
I count the days in faded rhyme
Waiting on a gentle sign
Pre-Chorus
And the hours hum a lonely song
I hum along
I hum along
Chorus
Until you return
I'll keep the lantern burning low
Until you return
I'll let the river carry what I know
Verse 2
Your shawl still hangs upon the hook
I read the lines inside your book
The sitar weeps a golden thread
A melody inside my head
Pre-Chorus
And the night keeps calling out your name
I say the same
I say the same
Chorus
Until you return
I'll keep the lantern burning low
Until you return
I'll let the river carry what I know
Bridge
Somewhere the wind is soft and kind
Somewhere you wander out of mind
But here the tambourines all ring
And the robins still take wing
Chorus
Until you return
I'll keep the lantern burning low
Until you return
I'll let the river carry what I know
