The Road in the Dark

Verse 1

I woke with dust on my tongue

And your name in my throat

The mirror kept its mouth shut

Still, I heard what you wrote

You said, "Don't wait too long"

So I counted the rain

Every drop on the window

Learned to call out my pain

Pre-Chorus

If I reach for your shadow

Will it reach back to me?

If I lose every answer

Will you still let me see?

Chorus

When the blind man cries

I know that sound

When the blind man cries

I fall right down

When the blind man cries

I hold it in

(hold it in)

When the blind man cries

I start again

Verse 2

There's a crack in the ceiling

Like a road in the dark

I keep one hand on memory

One hand on my heart

Your old boots by the doorway

Your scarf on the chair

I can't find the exit

But I know you were there

Pre-Chorus

If I call your name now

Will the room answer low?

If I make one more prayer

Will it teach me where to go?

Chorus

When the blind man cries

I know that sound

When the blind man cries

I fall right down

When the blind man cries

I hold it in

(hold it in)

When the blind man cries

I start again

Bridge

I used to chase the sunrise

Like it owed me a debt

Now I count every heartbeat

Like a match I can't wet

And if the road goes nowhere

I'll still walk to the end

'Cause even in the blackness

I can feel you near, my friend

Chorus

When the blind man cries

I know that sound

When the blind man cries

I fall right down

When the blind man cries

I hold it in

(hold it in)

When the blind man cries

I start again
